The FIRE Immersion School is an intensive, one-year immersion into a holy fire that
will change your life forever. It is a Jesus-centered, Word-based, prayer-charged,
relationally-oriented, practical-equipping, mentor-styled training center designed
to mold committed, teachable people into the image of Jesus Christ.
The FIRE Immersion School is not just a "school." It is a spiritual culture. It
is a family, a way of life, an atmosphere, and a radical Kingdom academy of the
Word and the Spirit. When you are done with this one-year program, you will:
- Grow deep, deep roots into God's awesome love for you.
- Enter into a more intimate and mature walk with God.
- Know the Word on a more advanced level.
- Experience authentic, enduring relationships.
- Receive practical tools to live and minister through the supernatural power of the
Holy Spirit (including hearing God, delivering prophetic words, and administering
divine healing).
- Be empowered to live a radical, holy life.
- Build solid confidence in your identity as God’s child and a new creation.
- Feel greater release into your calling and destiny.
- Learn how to serve the needs of others in humility and grace.
In other words, you’ll be more like Jesus!
Upon completion of this program, you will receive a Certificate in Practical Ministry,
and will have the option to enroll in our additional two-year “FIRE Leadership Institute.”

study methods that will make them more effective in the use of Scripture in daily
devotions, personal study, and ministry to others. Students will learn different
ways to study the Bible, including genre study, book outlining, and observation

of Scripture more easily accessible to the students, while they develop a love and
devotion for it as God’s holy word.

This class is designed to bring you into the reality of a lifetime journey of seeking
and experiencing God’s love, beauty, nature, and presence. This will be accomplished
not only by informing you about God through teaching Scriptural principles, but
by teaching you how to experience God and make intimacy with Him the foundation
of your life.
This is an opportunity to experience the integrated approach to inner healing and
deliverance. In this class we will take a look at how the Sins of the Fathers and
Resulting Curses affect our lives as well as breaking those curses. We will also

After that the Holy Spirit will deal with past hurts, which we call Soul/Spirit
hurts and finally, we will deal with Demonic Oppression.
A study on the importance of being filled with the Spirit, the power of speaking
in tongues, and walking in the Spirit. We will also focus on the importance of worship
and intimacy with the Lord as well as hearing from God.
This class will give students a systematic study through the Scriptures on principles
for armor bearers and servanthood. We will study the life of those men and women
in the Word who faithfully served as well as give practical wisdom as to how to
be effective servants today.
An examination of revival first and foremost as a personal experience, this course
focuses on learning to keep the flame of revival burning continually within our
hearts.
Kingdom Stewardship is designed to teach each student to redeem the time that God
has given them by developing life goals, schedules and action plans both in their
devotion to God and to the calling on their lives.

that have hindered them from growing in their relationship with Him.

be “in Him”. We will also cover the topics of righteousness of God in Christ, freedom
from sin, and the victory we have in Christ.
The goal of FIRE Immersion School is to mold its students more precisely into the
image of Jesus Christ. So this course describes the scriptural basis and prophetic
revelation that gave us our direction and helped define our program. From a historical
standpoint we will discuss the vision and prophecy that called for a “New Jesus
People,” 40 years after the original “Jesus People” began. From a scriptural standpoint
we will discuss Jesus as our model, our call to Christ-likeness, and how to become
more like Jesus.
Marrying the concepts of holiness and grace, this course describes the process whereby
God takes His children, who are made in His image, and transforms them into the
image of His Son.
The central theme in Jesus’ ministry while on earth was the Kingdom of God. And
He calls us to a life centered on that same Kingdom! This class will discuss the
nature and experience of God’s Kingdom, as well as how to live with it at the center
of our lives.
Human history began with a wedding and human history will conclude with one as well.
This course will deal with the bridal paradigm of the kingdom and reveal that the
message of Scripture has always been about a sacred romance between God and human
beings.
This end of the trimester one-week course is designed to help students assimilate
the truths they have learned throughout the trimester and integrate them into their
lives. It includes times of discussion, sharing, prayer, and exhortation.
What is the Church? What is God’s intended identity for His people according to
the New Testament? How can we recover this identity from the many layers of human
traditions and denominational fads? This course seeks to examine and answer these
questions through Scripture and a prophetic understanding of the present season.
This course takes FIRE School’s first phase, Kingdom Foundations, to the next level:
from the believer’s identity in Christ by grace, to the way of life that is rooted
in that identity. With the Sermon on the Mount as our general guide, we will expound
Jesus’ basic teaching of Kingdom life, explaining the joy, ethics, stewardship,
and spiritual disciplines that characterize a Kingdom culture.

stewardship, giving, and blessing. This course will cover topics such as: giving
and an individual’s financial impact on the Kingdom of God, putting God first, tithing,
as well as how to break the spirit of Mammon off your life and finances. On the
practical side, instruction will be given on how to get out of debt, how to make
and keep a budget, and an overview of credit, debt and borrowing. Additional topics
include discovering your money management tendencies and credit card management.
How does spiritual revival or revolution occur? By the invasion of God’s Kingdom
into real people’s everyday lives. That’s what Jesus dedicated His ministry to,
and that is the focus of our class. We will discuss Jesus’ concept of the Kingdom
(especially in Matthew’s gospel), as well as why and how He manifested it in power.
Subjects covered in this course include: Jesus the Revolutionary, Revolution in
the Church, Principles of Revolution, God’s Counterculture Revolution, Strategies
for the Jesus Revolution, The Role of Music and Arts in the Revolution, and Knowing
the Times and Seasons.
A “lab” on prophetic prayer. The first class gives instruction on praying in a small
group, hearing God, and understanding His will for a given prayer meeting. All other
class periods will be implementing these principles in actual prayer meetings during
class time. For the remainder of the trimester we will pray together, receive coaching,
and advance in the Kingdom through prayer.

foundations, New Testament fulfillment, and the practical outworking of healing
