Welcome

Greetings part-time local pastors, we hope that everything you need is on this website and your ministry is fruitful.

1) Click on the “2023 Schedule” or “Registration Forms”.   We offer courses in three locations, which are listed on the Course Schedules posted on this website. You may take courses at any ALPS/MTH site. 

3) When you click on the 2023 SCHEDULE:

Please scroll down the Course Schedule and click on SYLLABUS to the right of the course title.  Print your syllabus for the correct year that you are taking the course–order your textbooks and begin your pre-work.  DO NOT wait for an email from ALPS-MTH.  You will receive an email later with a copy of your invoice showing if any fees are owed.  PRE-WORK – Check the syllabus to see if you email your pre-work to the faculty member or mail it to the COS Director and check to see when it is due. 

 

4) REGISTRATION FOR COURSES – Click on the Registration Tab at the top of the web page.  Select the Registration Form.

 

A.  Provide your completed Registration Form(s) and a copy of your transcript with your $70 registration check to your District Superintendent (DS) at least (2-3) months prior to the course or 6 months in advance of the course you wish to take. This helps us plan for faculty to teach the course. Beginning with Registration for 2023 courses, all part-time currently appointed and newly licensed Local Pastors taking ALPS-MTH courses must submit 1 transcript with their Registration form.  The transcript will document that you have taken COS 121 and 122.  If you have NOT completed COS 121 and COS 122– just state on the Registration form the date and location you are taking  COS 121 and COS 122.  Obtain your transcript from cosregistrar@gbhem.org  Thank you.

 

B.  The DS will forward your registration form to your Local Pastor Registrar (LPR). The LPR will then forward your application to Pam Whitmore, ALPS/MTH COS Extension School Registrar. You will receive from Pam an emailed invoice (if you have a balance owed) once you are registered.  Do not wait for the email, as it can take several weeks for your form to process to the COS Registrar.  Contact Pam alpsmthcos@gmail.com about registration or fees owed if needed.   Contact the COS Director, Barbara Nye for other needs bnye34@gmail.com like course advisement.
