Leadership needs to be developed, nurtured and practiced. The Hillfort Leadership Academy has been developed for the purpose of equipping leaders with the tools, experience and wisdom to lead in many different fields of life.
From Church to Politics, we aim to nurture your talents and share from practical real-life experience and with a network of other leaders to add to the collective wisdom. Decision-making, evaluating situations and taking action with decisive solutions can be developed, but the addition of biblical wisdom and the counsel of the Holy Spirit can take you to new heights.

Hillfort Business Academy
In this modern age, Kingdom building requires the use of technology and finances, even more so as the world pushes toward a cashless society. Contrary to popular belief, it is not wrong for Christians to have business success!
The Church relies on the good will of its members to provide finances (tithes and offerings). The bigger more successful Churches typically have donors with greater financial equity (typically business people).
Therefore, to support your Church in the practical aspects of Ministry, God may be inspiring a Business or Ministry idea within you, not only to generate financial stability and abundance, but also to use your business to reach out in to the world and make a difference in a person’s life.
Recall that a Christian is a servant of God to the world, but also to mankind.
In every job and function, we undertake in our day, we can make it at act of love and worship. The overflow and abundance of your business success, allows you to invest in the next God inspired individual with a calling to grow the Kingdom.
The Hillfort Business Academy will take you through the “Vision” process, through to a viable business plan. From there we will assist you and counsel you though the challenges that lay ahead. Starting a business is a not an exact Science, but more of an Art. Think of it as a big adventure that awaits you but with Faith and God’s blessing, will lead to success and prosperity.
As a member, will be enrolled on an externally accredited and monitored Business course to ensure you gain the academic understanding and basic tools required to take ownership of your business with confidence.
If you are serious about becoming a business/ministry visionary, this will be the programme for you.
Details and costs will be advised upon application.
"For the love of money [that is, the greedy desire for it and the willingness to gain it unethically] is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves [through and through] with many sorrows."
