You were created by God for a purpose.

Long before you were born, God created a mission for you and decided to make you for a mission. Many people never discover what that mission is – are you one of them?  The Ministry Development Institute is not a school, it’s a family of people who have decided to ask God why He made them with an intent to be and do what He wants.

If you want to know the answer to questions like,

  • “What is God’s purpose for my life?”
  • “How can I serve God more effectively?”
  • “What are my spiritual gifts?”
  • “Where do I fit in the Body of Christ?”
  • “How can God use someone like me?”

Then the Ministry Development Institute is for you!!!

As you start the Ministry Development Institute journey, there are a few steps you want to take:

1. Take the SEEK Series

The SEEK Series is the perfect place to begin your Ministry Development Institute journey. It is a series of  devotionals designed to help you reflect on God’s love for you and get excited about discovering His purpose for your life.

A new devotional will be released each Monday over the next several weeks. Set aside time each week to read, pray, meditate on the Scriptures, and listen for what God may be revealing to you.

Before you focus on what God wants you to do, take time to seek Him and understand who He is shaping you to become.

2. Complete the S.H.A.P.E. Assessment

The S.H.A.P.E. Assessment helps you discover how God has uniquely designed you for ministry.

After completing the assessment, please email your results to admin@palmhouse.online.

3. Register for the Foundations for Ministry Seminar

Once you’ve completed your assessment, the next step is to register for the seminar. During the seminar you’ll discover your God-given SHAPE, deepen your understanding of His calling, and prepare for a life of faithful ministry.

4. Attend and Complete the Seminar

The final step is to attend the Foundations for Ministry Seminar and complete the weekend.

Together we’ll explore:

  • Your unique SHAPE for ministry
  • God’s calling on your life
  • Your place in the Body of Christ
  • Practical next steps for spiritual growth and ministry

Completing the seminar prepares you to continue into God’s WorkSHOP (MDI Phase II).
