Lead to Inspire.

Do you see the overwhelming need for people to know God and His truth for themselves? For their hunger for truth to be satisfied by being equipped to handle the Bible? If you answered "Yes!" keep reading...

With a focus on discipling others, biblical leadership, and practical ministry training, the Precept Leader Academy prepares you to lead Bible study groups, foster spiritual growth, and multiply your impact by equipping others to disciple those around them. If you’re passionate about discipling others and creating a lasting spiritual legacy, then the Precept Leader Academy is your next step. Start your discipling journey today with Precept UK / Ireland / Scotland.

The upcoming Academy will run over 18 months with 4 modules - a module every 6 months. Throughout the PLA you will be introduced to various types of Precept studies and after each course, you will be encouraged and supported to lead a small group through the study you have just completed.

We want to raise up confident, competent, compassionate, creative Bible study leaders – with a long-term vision of raising up Precept Trainers across the UK and Ireland. Join us and be used by the LORD to reach your community and nation for Him.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the difference between the Precept Leader Academy and other Precept events?

Unlike other Precept training courses, or Precept Bible Schools, the PLA will include daily practical or written assignments which will allow you to put into practice what has been learned, with a final written assignment on the last day of the course. 

Q. What time does the course run from? 

We’ll meet together each day from 9am – 4.30pm online, with daily assignments to be completed outside of these hours.

In order to complete some of the studies, there will be optional follow-up meetings after the course.

No. You can attend the module that you are interested in, and not attend any others. However, we encourage attendees to consider attending as many or all of the modules as possible in order to get the best possible training.

Q. I want to complete the PLA, but I missed a module. What happens now?

You can join the PLA at any point during the 18 month cycle. If you missed the start of a cycle, or missed a module, you can attend that module during the following cycle.
