Our goal is for students to graduate as leaders who are deeply committed to the Great Commission, actively serving both inside and outside the local church.

At Inspire Ministry School, students must dedicate themselves to developing a strong foundation in the authority of Scripture and pursuing a Christ-centered life with sincerity. We expect our students to be lifelong learners with teachable hearts, always seeking growth.

To thrive at Inspire Ministry School, students must embrace a mindset of excellence, striving to improve every space they enter, working collaboratively, empowering those around them, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and remaining adaptable in all circumstances.

Interview Process: 
To ensure you’re a good fit for this course, and that you’ll be able to keep up with the requirements, there will be a screening process for all would-be attendees. This will involve having a chat with our team and finding out more about why you would like to attend the Inspire Ministry School. 

  • Diverse sessions led by a variety of people from within and outside Inspire

  • A programme and materials designed to support your journey and development

  • Course coordinator to send reminders, provide support and answer questions

This course will require a high level of personal responsibility, including self-resourcing, self-discipline, and self-directed growth.

  • Take personal responsibility for your growth

  • Attend every session. Be present and engage

  • Complete assignments. Regular self-directed learning, plus other larger assignments

  • Find a mentor and meet with them at least once a term. It’s as simple as getting a coffee

  • Attend Seek Prayer Meetings. Prayer is essential in your growth as a leader

  • Attend, and serve, at the Inspire Conference (included in your course fees)

  • Present a 5 minute devotional at some point during the course

Whether your calling is to start a business, plant a church, write books, raise children, be a pastor, develop young leaders, teach the Bible, work in the corporate world, run a restaurant — whatever your unique calling is, desired outcomes of this course include:

  • Students being confident in their identity, and understanding who God has made them to be

  • With increased depth of relationship with God, and the developed habits that facilitate this

  • Grown in maturity and able to self-resource, self-discipline, and pursue personal development

  • Leaders who are deeply committed to the great commission, and living it out in their sphere
