Most ministry wives go through the PIM program on this track. They take the required PIM courses for two years on Monday mornings and meet with their Iron Sharpening Groups (ISG), small mentoring groups led by a faculty member, on Monday afternoons. If they are at IGSL a third year, they can also take advantage of our third year optional classes, which are electives and not required for the PIM certificate.
