Three schools, one calling — forming a generation of servant leaders for church, marketplace, and nation.
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.
From your first leadership step to becoming a fully-formed pastor or marketplace minister — FIRE Training Institute is built as a complete pipeline.
Discover your calling and build the foundations of leadership through one of two specialized tracks.
Two years of biblical and ministerial formation across six specialized schools. Become a mature minister of the Gospel.
The making of pastors — advanced theological depth and pastoral formation for those called to shepherd God's people.
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.
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.
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.
Six schools. Two years. One mission — to form ministers of the Gospel who are biblically grounded, spiritually awakened, and ready for the assignment God has for them.
Biblical foundations, leadership essentials, preaching, and personal spiritual life. The bedrock for every minister of the Gospel.
Missionary life, church planting, evangelism, world religions, and the practical art of taking the Gospel across cultures and continents.
The gifts and baptism of the Holy Spirit, healing, prophecy, dreams & interpretations. Walk in the power that the early church walked in.
Worship ministry, songwriting, prophetic worship, and team leadership. Forming worship leaders who carry presence, not just performance.
Digital marketing, graphic design, video production, sound, music, and communication. Equipping creatives to carry the Gospel across every screen.
"You are the salt of the earth." The advanced leadership school for those called to influence at scale — communication, ministry ethics, servant and spiritual leadership at the highest level.
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.
Real coursework, real reading, real assignments. We don't insult your intelligence — we form it.
Every student is walked with by mentors who know their name, their story, and their calling.
We care as much about who you are becoming as what you are learning. Character matters here.
Every student serves in the local church throughout their training. Formation in the field, not just the classroom.
