NEXT RESIDENTIAL: 18-24 February 2024
Two Intensive Residential Weeks
ENSM is framed by two short residentials, one near the beginning of the course and one at the end. These are held in the 3rd week of February each year and include both general input for everyone and specialised ministry track equipping. The lecturers are gifted experts and current leaders in ministry. Additionally there is ample opportunity for collaborative learning in a highly-interactive classroom and small-group format. Further, the relationships built over these weeks are invaluable for a life-time of ministry. These weeks are intense, but the impartation and input is life-changing.
Residential Week Core Curriculum
The residential weeks include focused time in your chosen ministry track and a transformative core curriculum for high impact ministry. Residential week course topics include:
• Biblical foundations for Gospel-shaped ministry
• Leading in His Ways
• Theological Foundations for Christ-centred ministry
• Cross-cultural considerations for ministry in Europe
• Principles and practice for effective preaching, teaching, and communication
• Growing in Christ-like character
• Patterns of spiritual and personal health for sustainable ministry effectiveness
• And much more

I got a huge boost of encouragement from [the residential]. I've been in full-time ministry for a few years and it's easy to get discouraged and feel like you're the only one who's struggling. I really appreciate the mix in ages and stages of life- I learned so much from the older ones and felt like I had something worth sharing with the younger ones. So so so much encouragement because of this week.
I also think the content and the teachers are top class. It was good to take stock of where my ministry is right now and have vision for what God can do!
