In addition to Monday night class, our students also volunteer once a month in the local church or community to serve our region and release what they are learning in school. Students may serve in children’s ministry, youth, worship, set up/take down, A/V team, hospitality, parking crew, prison ministry, homeless ministry, and more. We also lead groups of students to serve as prayer and ministry teams at conferences and services in our region. We desire to not only teach and train the saints, but empower them to do the works of Jesus. A willingness to serve with humility is a core value of essm.

ESSM offers three years of revival training and teaching. Each year builds on the next, equipping and empowering students to find and flourish in their God-given assignments to bring heaven to earth.

FOCUS : IDENTITY

Our first year program is a place where hungry lovers of Jesus get refined by learning the truth of who they are in Him. Revivalists will be encouraged and stretched to grow into the potential that Jesus paid for on the cross. ESSM is a safe place to be vulnerable with your heart, and by doing so, healthy community is deepened. We learn and grow and mature together. We will grow in intimacy with Jesus by passionately worshipping Him and spending time with Him together and on our own. We will be transformed by spending time in the fire of God, we will be sharpened and grow in our boldness operating in all of the gifts that Holy Spirit gave to us to live like Jesus did in our everyday lives. In addition to attending class, students complete monthly book reports, and weekly reflection questions.

FOCUS : LEADERSHIP

Our second year program is a place where students will continue to grow and expand on the identity, skills and core values that were set in place during first year. The purpose of second year is to further develop, strengthen, and empower mature men and women who will lead with confidence, humility and power as they release the kingdom of God anywhere they go. Second year focuses more on leadership development; presenting students with opportunities to organize and participate in community outreach, serve and minister to the local church, grow in healthy confrontation and feedback techniques, as well as opportunities to grow in preparation and delivery of a sermon. Second year will greatly equip and prepare students, providing them with an abundance of tools and opportunities to lead, prophesy, preach the gospel, heal the sick, and cast out demons through power and love of the Holy Spirit.  Second year students also complete monthly book reports, and weekly reflection questions.

FOCUS : OWNERSHIP

Our third year students serve as interns for ESSM and The Pathway Church. Our mission for third year is to equip revivalists to grow as mothers and father and discover and pursue their God-given calling(s).  Through intentional discipleship and leadership opportunities, third years will step up to lead, help pastor, and serve our ESSM revivalists and Revival Group Pastors, while being equipped to bring leadership and revival to the unique places and assignments God has called them into.

In addition to Monday nights, third year students will gather the first Tuesday evening of each month from 6:30-8:30pm for equipping and connection. 

FOCUS : DIVING DEEPER

The teaching and experiential content of first and second year is deep and rich. You are offered a feast and it can take time to digest. Many students have chosen to repeat a year and dive deeper into the material and into the journey. Though the content is similar from year to year, the journey with God is always a new adventure.
