Ellerslie Training specializes in taking students deeper with God and providing an atmosphere in which a love for the Word of God, prayer and Biblical study can be cultivated.  We are more of a spiritual-training retreat than a classical school environment.  But though our primary goal is to help students go deeper with Christ, we are also very purposeful about giving students a strong Scriptural understanding and Biblical framework as they walk through this deepening process. 

There are six major themes that we seek to develop in the hearts and minds of our students through the semester-long training:

1. 1.A passionate love for the Word of God
   

2. 2.A clear and intimate understanding of the Gospel life
   

3. 3.The cultivation of a vibrant prayer life
   

4. 4.An establishment of healthy, life-long spiritual behavior patterns
   

5. 5.An intercessor’s mentality – being made strong in order to be poured out for the weak
   

This is what we specialize in at Ellerslie - stoking the fire of the human soul - acquainting Christians with the enormity of our God and His ability to bring about a very real triumph in the human soul.

In the Ellerslie Training program, we don’t merely talk about prayer – we pray!  We incorporate powerful prayer into our mornings, afternoons, evenings and nights.

We don’t just talk about the importance of the Word of God – we get into it, we dig deep into the rich ore of it’s life-giving substance; we learn to cherish every word; the poetry of its cadence, the power and efficacy of it’s Truth. 

We don’t just talk about the Cross, we experience its redemptive and life-altering power. We grab a hold of its strength.  We let it break us, rebuild us, and fortify us to enter this battle truly ready to make a difference.

We don’t just talk about the least; we prepare ourselves practically to be made broken bread and poured-out wine on their behalf.  We explore the ideas of real-world intercession, of courageously standing in harm’s way to act on behalf of the vulnerable.

At Ellerslie, our desire is not to talk about Christianity, but to live it.  If you are looking for head-knowledge about God and His Word, you’ll get it here – but you will also get a lot more.  There are plenty of Christian programs that could give you the academics of the Christian faith – and we certainly don’t shy away from offering them.  But we specialize in helping student’s experience the substance of the Christian faith. This program may not be for everybody.  But if you are hungry for the sort of things just mentioned, it may just be for you.
