So What is Ellerslie Leadership Training?
Well you can click here to view their website…
But basically.
“Ellerslie training specialises 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 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.
- A passionate love for the Word of God
- A clear and intimate understanding of the Gospel life
- The cultivation of a vibrant prayer life
- An establishment of healthy, life-long spiritual behaviour patterns
- An intercessor’s mentality – being made strong in order to be poured out for the weak.
This is what we specialize in at Ellerslie – stocking 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 its life-giving substance. We learn to cherish every word, the poetry of its cadence, the power and efficacy of its 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 poured out 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!”

“We are not merely training Christian Saints; men and women focused on holiness and set-apartness from the world, but also Christian Soldiers; men and women armed and equipped to enter into the world and practically change it for the glory of Jesus Christ.
This is where God has called us, and this is where we are going until he tells us differently. Contact Us for more information.
When asked what Ellerslie is, one of my friends who is there this semester (Fall 2011) posted the following:
“It is a “school” of sorts. Basically it is nine-weeks of in-depth biblical study, and a establishing a firm foundation upon Christ. It isn’t like a bible college though. All I have ever seen come out of a bible college is a bunch of people who have a lot of knowledge and are luke-warm at best. Ellerslie is also called a school of Honor. They train you in Honor, Decorum, and in much more. It isn’t just learning about Christ, it is seeking Him all day. It is seeing the truths of scripture about what Christ has done, reckoning with them, and then watching lives be radically changed. It is taking what are considering “good” christians (as termed by the “wonderful” establishment know as the modern church) and turning them it to soldiers for Christ. We are being trained in the same things that take normal people, and turn them into people like C.T. Studd, Amy Carmichael, Hudson Taylor, Leonard Ravenhill, George Muller, Gladys Aylward, and Jim Elliot.”
