Elijah Mission University (EMU) is EMI's flagship annual intensive — a four-day gathering in Cape Town where spiritual formation meets intellectual rigour. Theology, leadership, reconciliation, and human flourishing aren't just discussed here; they're lived. Bringing together business leaders, pastors, academics, students, and social entrepreneurs from across the globe, EMU is where diverse minds unite around faith, virtue, and the renewal of society — and where the relationships formed carry you through the year ahead. Structured around five spheres of cultural influence — Church, Family, Business, Academia, and Public Service — EMU's 80+ sessions over four days are designed to sharpen leaders across every domain of society.

Sharpen your faith. Expand your global vision. 
Build the foundations for flourishing societies.

What to Expect

EMU runs Monday through Thursday — four days of immersive plenary addresses, extended discourse sessions, and sphere-specific breakouts designed for 175–300 leaders from multiple continents. Whether you're a pastor, parent, entrepreneur, scholar, or public servant, there's a track built for your context and calling.

Five Spheres. One Mission.

Sessions are organized across Church, Family, Business, Academia, and Public Service — each exploring how faith and virtue can renew every corner of society. Topics range from Kingdom-Centred Corporate Culture to Political Engagement as Christian Witness to Family Discipleship in Diverse Contexts. 

EMU also serves as a gathering point for EMI's Global Students Connect and Global Leaders Connect cohorts, with pathways for ongoing formation that carry well beyond the four days.
