Admissions

Before admission to ENSM, applicants are strongly encouraged—and in the future may be required—to have completed Leadership 215 (L215), either online or through their local church. Priority is given to those who have completed this foundational course.

Who Should Apply?

ENSM primarily serves Every Nation vocational ministers such as church planters, pastors, campus missionaries, and cross-cultural missionaries. While we welcome applications from outside Every Nation, we prioritize candidates with at least five years of vocational ministry experience.

Applicants should have completed Leadership 215 or, at minimum, the following four L215 courses:

  • Introduction Course

  • Systematic Theology 1

  • Systematic Theology 2

  • Systematic Theology 3
