Welcome to ISOM Online

What brought you here? Maybe you want to understand your faith more fully, be better prepared to serve, or simply keep learning.

ISOM is a Bible college here to prepare you for Christian ministry through theological education, biblical studies, and practical ministry training. Study when it fits your schedule and wherever you are, so your studies can fit around family, work, and church.

Jesus commanded His disciples to teach others to observe what He commanded. ISOM is here to help with that teaching—helping you know what Jesus said, understand what it means, and put it into practice.

Holly Wagner

Holly Wagner is an author, international speaker, and pastor. Growing up in Venezuela, Indonesia, and England, she eventually moved to Los Angeles, California, where she worked as an actress in films and television for over 10 years. In 1984, she and her husband, Philip, started Oasis Church, as a Bible-study group in a Beverly Hills home with a group of ten people. Their dream has always been for the church to be an oasis in a dry place—full of grace, love, faith, hope, and generosity—and the church now has more than 3,000 members. The church issues funds to support international poverty initiatives, including care for widows, orphans, as well as clean drinking water projects. In 2019, the Wagners passed the title of Lead Pastor to Julian and Christina Lowe. 

Holly is also the founder of GodChicks, an organization devoted to encouraging and equipping women around the globe, with an annual conference that draws women from around the country.

She has written several books, using her humorous yet challenging style to encourage readers. 

Her books include GodChicks, Daily Steps for GodChicks, Love Works, and Find Your Brave. She has been featured on many TV shows including The View, Praise the Lord, the 700 Club, and Dick Clark’s The Other Half.
