FIRE Training
Institute.

Three schools, one calling — forming a generation of servant leaders for church, marketplace, and nation.

Three Schools One Mission
For Every Believer
Based In Yaoundé · Cameroon

Every Christian is a leader. Every leader needs formation.

The FIRE Training Institute exists because information is not formation. The world has too many Christians who know the right answers but have never been shaped by the right hands. We are committed to producing leaders whose character matches their calling, whose theology shapes their lives, and whose lives bear fruit in the world.

Through three integrated schools, we offer formation for every season — from the new believer who wants to grow in their everyday faith, to the called minister preparing for pastoral leadership, to the lifelong learner pursuing deep theological roots.

Our pedagogy is practical, our community is honest, and our standards are high. We are not building a Bible school. We are forming sons and daughters who will change cities.

Information without formation produces educated fools. Formation produces leaders.

FIRE Leadership Academy.

Where your calling becomes a craft. The Academy is the on-ramp into FIRE training — choose the track that matches your assignment and begin your journey of leadership formation.

— Specialized Track

Marketplace Apostles

For the called who carry their pulpit into the boardroom, the classroom, the studio, and the shop.

If your sphere of influence is the marketplace — business, finance, tech, education, the arts, public service — you are not less of a minister than the one behind the pulpit. Marketplace Apostles equips you to lead with biblical conviction, exercise spiritual authority where you work, and turn every sphere of daily activity into a field of ministry.

— Specialized Track

Pastoral Track

For those sensing the call to shepherd, teach, and lead the people of God in the local church.

If you carry a calling to ministry leadership — to preach, pastor, plant, or serve in the local church — the Pastoral Track is your foundation. Build the character, conviction, and competence that ministry demands, and prepare for the deeper formation of FIRE Bible Institute and Pastoral College beyond it.

Completing the Leadership Academy counts as Year 1 of FIRE Bible Institute — your training compounds.

Pastoral College.

For those who have walked the long road — through the Academy, through the Institute, through the fire of formation — and now sense a deeper call: to shepherd the people of God.

Pastoral College is not for the curious. It is for the called. Advanced theology. Pastoral practice. Spiritual fatherhood. The making of pastors who can carry the weight of a flock and the depth of the Word.

"And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers — for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." — Ephesians 4:11–12
