The Ministerial Institute of the Holy Spirit, IMES, is a training center with the Word of God that develops adult, youth and children leaders who serve and bring to their communities progress and transformation through the principles of the kingdom of God.

The process of leadership formation at IMES begins with your commitment as a member of the Church.

Mission

To provide a Christian formation process to develop mature leaders with the character of Christ who serve and bring to the community progress, change and better quality of life through the foundations and principles of the kingdom.
