LEARN ENGLISH
FOR PASTORAL MINISTRY
Welcome to ELSPM
ELSPM is a registered and accredited ELICOS provider in Melbourne, Australia,
specialising in teaching English to those involved in Christian ministry.
Our Purpose
We teach English to pastoral workers and theological students
in a supportive and friendly Christian environment.
ELSPM welcomes pastoral workers and theological students who do not have English as their first language.
Students develop skills in English in a Christian and theological environment which enables them to engage effectively in
pastoral ministry or continue theological studies. Contact us and learn english for pastoral ministry today!
