UPPERROOM ACADEMY will be hosted at CHC School of Ministries campus at 322 Wecker Road, Carindale, Brisbane, QLD. 

Many people who are only attending UPPERROOM ACADEMY can travel to Brisbane Tuesday morning and return Tuesday night.

People who are attending both UPPERROOM ACADEMY (unaccredited) and CHC School of Ministries (accredited) programs can travel to Brisbane on Monday afternoon and return Wednesday night.

For those students travelling to Brisbane for UPPERROOM ACADEMY and for CHC School of Ministries studies, you may need to find accommodation for Monday and Tuesday nights.

Friends, family and local churches may be able to host all billet you.  Please make contact with them quickly to secure a bed.

Yes it can, but you will be cutting it fine. Make sure you apply quickly in early February 2025.

Students wanting to also enrol in CHC School of Ministries will also need to watch the closing date for CHC accredited courses.

CHC SoM students can complete accredited units online post-Easter 2025 - either in a SoM external learning hub in their church, or self-paced online - or continue to attend on-campus classes on Monday nights and all-day Wednesdays.  It is up to you.

Being physically present for impartation and ministry training offers several advantages that are often difficult to replicate in an online setting. Here are some reasons why being "in the room" is important:

1. Personal Connection: Face-to-face interaction fosters deeper relationships and a stronger sense of community. Ministry often relies on personal connections, and being physically present helps build trust and rapport among trainees, apostolic leaders, and trainers.

2. Immediate Feedback: In-person training allows for instant feedback and clarification. Participants can ask questions and receive immediate responses, which enhances understanding and learning.

3. Non-verbal Communication: Much of human communication is non-verbal. Being physically present allows trainers and trainees to read body language, facial expressions, and other non-verbal cues, which can be crucial for effective communication and understanding.

4. Hands-on Experience: Many aspects of ministry require practical, hands-on experience. Being in the room allows trainees to practice skills, such as public speaking, role playing, and moving with Holy Spirit, in a supportive environment where they can receive real-time guidance.

5. Engagement and Focus: Physical presence often results in higher levels of engagement and focus. Online environments can be full of distractions, whereas being in a dedicated training space helps participants concentrate better on the material and activities.

6. Building Community: Ministry is often about building and serving a community. In-person training provides opportunities for fellowship, group activities, and team-building exercises that help foster a sense of community and shared purpose among participants.

7. Mentorship and Networking: Being physically present allows for more natural and meaningful interactions with mentors and peers. These interactions can lead to valuable mentorship relationships and networking opportunities that can support a season of exploration and a ministry career.

8. Experiential Learning: In-person training can include simulations, role-playing, and other interactive activities that are more effective in a physical setting. These experiences help trainees develop practical skills and confidence.

9. Spiritual Atmosphere: The environment in which training takes place can significantly impact the learning and impartation experience. Being in a dedicated space for ministry training can provide a spiritually enriching atmosphere that enhances the learning and growth process.  It also facilitates our practice of laying on of hands.” 

10. Accountability: Being physically present often creates a greater sense of accountability. Trainees are more likely to stay committed to their experience and learning goals and participate fully when they are present in the room with their peers and trainers.

In summary, while online training offers convenience and accessibility, being "in the room" provides a richer, more immersive experience that is essential for effective ministry training.

The foundation of UA is being "in the room."  There is power in proximity.   Impartation is maximised when physically present.  

However, some small elements of UA will be available each Tuesday by live stream online.  These sections will be advised each Monday AM. 

Yes you can. We expect UPPERROOM ACADEMY will become "the place to be" as the word gets out that God is doing something new.

Churches and ministries can use the 7 Tuesdays for team training or professional development because of the quality INC pastors and apostolic leaders who will be presenting and ministering.

UPPERROOM ACADEMY is an Incubator of Faith!

Our faith in God is important and it helps us connect with Him.

We have a strong culture of faith. Our students take God literally when He said “seek and you will find.” We are bold in belief, so we look in new places and try new things to help us discover more of God. UPPERROOM ACADEMY is an incubator for your faith and you will be challenged to think anything is possible with God!

The faith-filled environment makes you believe nothing is impossible, so students respond boldly by learning something one day and taking action the next, practicing and applying what they learned to life now –and we all benefit as they focus on God’s Kingdom.
