ENSM is built for those aspiring to vocational and part-time local church ministry with Every Nation Europe.

Applicants to ENSM will have completed their local church discipleship pathway and will be actively serving in a leadership role. In some instances, ENSM will be done as part of a local church internship programme or as part of ongoing staff development.

Ideally students will have completed Leadership 215, but this is not a pre-requisite. However, it is highly recommended for prospective students having a primary language other than English.

Whilst a bachelor’s degree is not required, most people entering ENSM will have completed university; the course content is delivered at a BA level in English.

-Be actively serving in an Every Nation local church.

ENSM is accessible to busy professionals and full-time ministers. By setting aside around 6 hours a week during the 3 month residential preparation course for personal study the course can be completed, along with the 2 week residential.

There will be a welcome webinar on Monday, 3rd November 2025 this will be at 7.00pm UK Time, 8.00pm CET.

All students will be expected to attend.

Completing Leadership 215 is the global minimum theological standard for ordination in Every Nation. This course is not accredited by an outside institution.

Whereas a BA degree from an accredited university is not a prerequisite, the teaching assumes that someone is able to read and write in English at an undergraduate level.

This will be considered on a case by case basis. A maximum of 25% (3 courses) will be considered for credit if like for like correspondence is confirmed.

The residential weeks will be in February every year.

-Next residential: 8-21st February 2026

-Location: Mercure Stare Miastro, Krakow, Poland

The ABC3 Programme is our approach to church planting. This consists of assessment, boot camp, coaching, clusters, and consulting. The School of Ministry will typically be done immediately prior to or immediately after assessment. Our recommended pathway is to complete the school prior to attending the assessment centre. Because we cover much of the previous church planter’s boot camp material in the church planter’s track (and much more!), the nature of the boot camp is different. The focus of the new boot camp is developing and refining your personal church plant plan. 

For some, they will complete the school while doing a local-church based internship programme (which itself may require partnership development for funding); for others, they will complete the school after having raised support.

-Our recommended pathway is to complete the school prior to developing a ministry partnership team for full-time ministry.

-Some people will complete the school of ministry after they are already in full-time ministry.

-Still others are not on a vocational ministry pathway and will complete the school of ministry while working another job.

At the moment, the course is only delivered in English.  Unless pre-agreed by the School Director before submitting your application, all written assignments must be submitted in English. 

NOTE: the required reading is likely to only be published in English.  You should be proficient in English to undergraduate level. 

Unfortunately not.  The majority of the course fees go towards the two residential weeks which include rooms, full board and materials.  If a couple is taking the same track, savings can be made by only purchasing one set of reading materials.  We would encourage students to speak with their senior pastors to see if there is financial support available through their local church. 

A limited number of scholarships are available. These are offered in partnership with your local church and are assessed on a need and merit basis. Please contact us for more information.
