About IHOPU eSchool

 

IHOPU eSchool courses equip students in the knowledge of God and the power of the Spirit by bringing Bible teaching from International House of Prayer University, in Kansas City, directly to you through two types of online courses: interactive and enrichment courses; and two types of group study courses, group study courses on DVD, mailed to your door, and online group study courses, hosted on forums. Grounded in the Scriptures, our courses aim to encourage individuals in a life of intimacy with God and of ministry to those around them.

Significant discounts are available by purchasing four courses as an eSchool certificate. Our four-course certificates are offered in both interactive and enrichment course format. You can also customize your own certificate by purchasing four individual courses, still benefiting from the discounted certificate price. Discounts and scholarships are available upon request to students from developing nations.

How to Take eSchool Courses

All eSchool courses fit your schedule. You may start a course at any time and complete work at your own pace. You have up to six months (180 days) from registration to complete each individual course. When you buy a four-course certificate you have one to two years to complete all four courses, although we recommend taking the courses one at a time to get the most out of your study. Each of the course options can be easily accessed via the course catalog on the left. After purchasing your course(s), you will immediately be able to log in and access the course material.

eSchool students taking interactive, enrichment, or online group study courses should have a computer with a working broadband Internet connection. If you are interested in using eSchool courses in a group setting or in an environment where Internet access is difficult, our DVD-based group study courses, mailed to your door, are the ideal medium.

Types of eSchool Courses

Interactive Courses

Interactive courses allow you to experience a full IHOPU course without ever setting foot in Kansas City. Each course involves:

  • 24–28 lectures in high-quality video and audio formats
  • Course notes in PDF format
  • Online quizzes
  • Required readings
  • Journal assignments
  • 8 hours corporate prayer
  • Online course facilitator interaction
  • Student discussion forums

The required corporate prayer component may be completed with a house of prayer in your area, by attending prayer meetings through your church, or by joining the Global Prayer Room at the Interational House of Prayer of Kansas City via the free live webstream. Please note that eSchool interactive materials are licensed for individual use only. We ask that you use eSchool materials only for your own study and not distribute them to others.

You may purchase and take individual interactive courses, but if you are interested in more than one interactive course, you may purchase multiple interactive courses for a discounted price by purchasing a four-course certificate. We also offer the Forerunner Curriculum, which is part of every IHOPU student's first semester; and a certificate that covers the same material you would study during the entire first year at IHOPU, the First Semester and the Second Semester Certificate.

An important feature of interactive courses is that you may apply to receive full IHOPU credit for many of them. Find out more »

Enrichment Courses

Enrichment courses are perfect for personal study. Lectures are accompanied by the full course notes, however, enrichment students are not required to complete assignments, or take quizzes and tests, as interactive students are. Both enrichment video courses and enrichment audio courses are available.

You may purchase and take individual enrichment courses, but if you are interested in more than one enrichment course, significant discounts are available. Please note that eSchool enrichment materials are licensed for individual use only. We ask that you use eSchool materials only for your own study and not distribute them to others.

Group Study Courses (DVD)

Group study courses are specifically designed for use in a small group such as a home group, a campus Bible study, or as part of the training at a church or house of prayer. We recommend group study courses as an effective way for a church or house of prayer to begin to develop their own local training center using IHOPU's teaching materials. High-quality video teachings are accompanied by full course notes, and ready-made curriculum, including a course syllabus, exams, and reading assignments, so that you can work through the material together in your own setting.

Group study courses are available via DVD mailed to your door. For online group study courses see below. Group study courses are licensed for use by more than one individual. They comprise the same materials as an interactive course, but without transferrable credit to IHOPU.

Group Study Courses Online

Our online group study courses are designed for those who prefer to study online or who are separated by distance but united by a desire to study the Word of God. Each online group study course includes high-quality video and audio teachings, full course notes, a course syllabus, exams, and reading assignments. Each student has their own account to be able to complete their own homework assignments for a grade, but also interacts with others in the group.

An online group study course is established with the registration of a group course facilitator for the group, responsible for organizing the group study course, interacting with the IHOPU eSchool team, and grading homework assignments. The group facilitator is able to invite others to join the group once he or she has registered.

As with DVD-based group study courses, credits are not transferrable to IHOPU.
