My season at Ellerslie opened my eyes to what ministry is all about. It’s not about my own ability, strength, or agenda. It’s all about Jesus. When my relationship with Jesus Christ is my highest priority, everything else — even ministry — falls into its rightful place.

I praise and thank God for how He is mightily using you in advancing His Kingdom. Things I have learned before about Jesus and His work at the Cross has deepened. And because of that I am seeking God more and more and want to know Him more and more that I may love and serve Him with all that I am.

If you are looking for a set apart time to immerse yourself in Jesus, this is it — even for those of us that are a little older! The Word is is taught … Truth is proclaimed, and I became more confident in what it means to live "In Christ."

I learned to stand firmly on the foundation of who Jesus is, and to not live the Christian life passively. During my season, I was encouraged to walk in the boldness of Christ, to pursue Him with all my heart and to encourage others to the same in a humble way.

I am so grateful for this program. It's been such a blessing, and so much more than I could ever dream for this summer. What stands out for me from these weeks is to abide in Christ, and let Him do His work in and through me. And I have definitely been challenged to share the Gospel with people, and to put Jesus in the center of my life.

I found the discipleship training, preaching, and atmosphere to be foundational to my future ministry endeavors ... I would definitely recommend Ellerslie to anyone who is serious about their relationship with Jesus Christ and wants to live a victorious Christian life.

I came to Ellerslie seeking more in my walk with Christ. By the time I was done with the training, I had learned many of the tools necessary for living a Christ-centered life, and had built a foundation for an unshakeable faith in Christ.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this rich training! I found myself thunderstruck many times throughout the course. Small, poignant God moments where He reminded me in no uncertain terms to sit up and press into this teaching.

This program has provided me with what I have been missing and looking for the past few years. The teachings and books and diving deeper into Scripture have all helped move me into a deeper relationship with Jesus!

The environment is focused on the Gospel and places the Word of God, Jesus Christ, in His rightful place of authority. With the Bible serving as the foundation, everything else is geared toward fostering a deeper intimacy with Jesus through prayer, study, teaching, and more.

In coming to Ellerslie, my walk with Jesus has, can I say, exploded! Ellerslie has taught me how to have a flourishing intimate relationship with Christ. I’ve been rooted and grounded in the Lord Jesus! It’s a place set apart for HIM!
