Ministry Training
Get Inspired
Welcome to our 4-year program that focuses on developing leadership skills in emerging leaders, with the goal of positively impacting their future ministry. Traditional catering for those studying a Bachelor's or Masters, through this program, we aim to equip you to think like Jesus, live authentically as a disciple-maker, and have a Kingdom-minded approach to all aspects of your life. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to specialize your leadership development through coaching while also developing other leaders within The Emerging Leaders Program.
Â
Our program has two core trainings: SHIFTm2M and MyFriends. These trainings will help you understand what Christ calls leaders to be and how to build a foundation as His followers. During the first year, you will study the gospels and learn Jesus’ disciple-making movement principles, which you will then apply in your ministry context. During the second year, you will be trained and coached on how to develop a lifestyle that creates opportunities for your family, friends, neighbours, and community to discover God's story. With ongoing coaching throughout the first two years, our hope is that you will develop a disciple-making lifestyle and launch movements of disciple-making through your leadership and ministry.
Â
The final two years of the program provide opportunities for you to refine your leadership skills through specific coaching and ongoing support. During this time, you will further develop your disciple-making lifestyle and ministry leadership, learn how to develop and raise other leaders and receive support for your continued growth.
Â
We encourage you to apply or partner with us in developing emerging leaders who lead and live like Jesus.

Collaborative Learning Cohort
Throughout the trimester, we meet fortnightly (on Zoom) and explore what we are learning and wrestling with through our studies that we are partaking in. With a focus on application throughout these meetings, we look to make the connections from our head, to our heart and hands as leaders.
Training
The training dates will be available in the welcome pack for each year, with all first year participants in any program, participating in SHIFTm2M and second year participants, in MyFriends Trianing. With various gathering places around Australia, 9 training days (SHIFTm2M) and 4 training days (MyFriends) throughout the year, and coaching to help with the application process; it is always an amazing journey.
