What is ENSM?
ENSM is a fifteen-month comprehensive programme that equips leaders for effective gospel ministry in the European context. Using a hybrid approach including in-person residential intensives, online distance learning, local church ministry, and expert/mentor input, students complete a core curriculum and choose one of three specialised ministry tracks. Appropriate for both full-time and part-time ministers, ENSM focuses on leadership capacity, Christian character, theological foundations, and practical ministry skills.
Our programme structure and outcomes are designed to equip leaders for God’s harvest in Europe.
Programme Features
Leadership 215: All ENSM students will complete Leadership 215, the global Every Nation course necessary for local church ordination. In addition to watching lectures, reading books, and writing papers, students will participate in online cohorts to ensure content consolidation. For those who have already completed Leadership 215, you will do the reading, writing, and review sufficiently to participate in the cohorts.
Ministry Tracks: all ENSM students will choose one of three ministry tracks (church leadership, church planting, campus ministry) for specialised ministry focus. Ministry tracks are taught both online and at the residential week and include lecture, discussion, and reading.
Residential weeks: all ENSM students participate in two residential weeks, one at the beginning of the course and one at the end. The residential weeks include both core curriculum and ministry track content.
Core curriculum: In addition to ministry tracks, half of the two residential weeks is devoted to core courses all students take including leadership, biblical and theological foundations, cross-cultural ministry (understanding the European context), and preaching.
Local church ministry project: All students complete a local church project in their ministry track area, in cooperation with their senior pastor and approved by the track leader.
