School Planting started in 2006 out of a need. Other ministries were requesting information and help on how to start their own schools of supernatural ministry, and were wanting to use our curriculum.

Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM) was born out of a vision to see transformation in our city and throughout the world. Our leaders and church body saw an increasing need to train an army of believers whose lives would reveal the King and His kingdom through love and supernatural power.

Partnering with the Holy Spirit, Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton co-founded BSSM in 1998. The school began with 36 students and now hosts over 1,500 students from around the world each year, both on campus and online. Our three-year program continues to be an extension and expression of what God is doing in the hearts of our leaders and the Bethel Church environment.

BSSM School Planting exists to support, inspire, and resource leaders who wish to start their own school of ministry. We give you freedom to start and manage your school as you decide is best for your students and community. You are free to launch a school in whatever format works best for you and your audience without Bethel staff policing your team or program.
