Who Should Attend?
Emerging & Existing Leaders: The School of Prophetic Leadership
is de- signed to equip prophetic people operating in various
measures of prophetic gifting and au- thority, in both the diverse
ministries of the church and in all sectors of society. Students
come from various denominational and church cultures at different
stages in their prophetic development. The training provides funda-
mentals and resources that are useful on many levels for prophetic
individuals and groups who seek authentic and sustained impact in
prophetic ministry. The School helps emerg- ing leaders discover
and understand the pro- phetic leadership ministry and helps
seasoned leaders enhance and deepen their ability to support the
leadership development of others.
Pastors & Team Leaders: The School of Prophetic Leadership’s
curricu- lum is an excellent tool for those who work on leadership
teams with or oversee prophetic people. Churches are encouraged to
send teams that include both seasoned and emerg- ing leaders so
they can advance and reinforce the learning experience when
returning to their home churches. The teachings and tools provided
can increase the value and under- standing of working in
partnership with the prophetically gifted to enhance a collective
kingdom agenda.
The School of Prophetic Leadership is a New England based
leadership develop- ment training and learning community with a
local and international focus designed specifically to equip and
prepare emerging and existing prophetic ministry with scrip-
turally-based principles and practices needed to be Spirit-bearing
change agents in congregations and community.

and the core doctrines of Christianity. We believe in the essential
authority of Scriptures for Christian faith and practice,
justification by faith and the priesthood of all believers. We
believe that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that
Jesus was born of a virgin, that He was physically raised from the
dead and that an individual’s personal relationship to Jesus Christ
as Lord determines that individual’s eternal destiny in heaven or
hell. We believe in the present empowering work and activity of the
Holy Spirit in the life of the believer producing fruit in godly
character and awakening gifts for effective service and Christian
witness. The fulfillment of Jesus’ Great Commission to make
disciples of all nations is central to the mission of PureSpring
Institute.

mobilize Christ-centered re- newal movements. Along with the School
