Methods of Learning
Distance Learning
Our distance learning includes online lectures, reading, writing, and assessment. Additionally, students participate in a monthly online classroom that includes both core curriculum and ministry track content. Our core curriculum includes Leadership 215, the Every Nation global standard for ordained ministers of the gospel.
Collaborative Learning
Monthly Online Classroom: All students gather online each month for a learning experience that includes both Leadership 215 and ministry track material. Facilitated by our faculty, each monthly classroom moment includes teaching, review of course content, student presentations from reading, and focused conversation to help consolidate course content and explore practical ministry application.
Ministry Track: Additionally, you will participate in a quarterly web meeting with your track. You will do a presentation, discuss key findings from your reading, and receive input from the track leader.
Practical Learning
Our focus is on developing leaders equipped for effective ministry with theological foundations and practical ministry skills. Throughout your enrolment you will be participating in ministry with your local church. The culmination of the programme is a ministry project you design and lead in conjunction with your senior pastor.
Residentials
The two residential weeks form a core component of ENSM. These in-person weeks are compulsory for all students and occur in the 3rd week of February each year.
