2020

We felt building a program to identify holistic ministers around the nation
 
Ignite leadership recognized the need for an online, fast paced, and holistic training program to grow ministers around the nation and beyond. A partnership with the Assemblies of God was started to provide institute classes online along with leadership electives in efforts to address the growing need for holistic ministers.

"None of the positions I have held or the doors that have been opened for me would have been possible without Ignite. Now, over 10 years later, I still treasure the lessons learned through my time as a student and leader."

Pastor Alex Oquendo, Class of 2007
