ABOUT THE FORTRESS INSTITUTE

Fortress Institute began in 1998 with the mission of developing high quality, low cost solutions to the greatest problems in life.  Initially, we were focused on providing environmental solutions to environmental problems in the workplace (for example, compliance with government regulations). This part of the Fortress vision provided financial resources for the larger vision of clergy care.  Since those beginnings, Fortress has focused more and more on the spiritual, emotional and relational problems and less and less on the environmental. However, the solutions themselves have always been grounded in the eternal truths of God's word. 

CENTER FOR CAREGIVER DEVELOPMENT

"Caregivers" is a general term for all those who are devoted to meeting the emotional, spiritual and even physical needs of others. It includes professional ministers but also laypeople and volunteers.  The Center for Caregiver Development is devoted to providing biblically-based, scientifically-tested solutions for them, specifically resources for training and equipping. 

CENTER FOR BIBLICAL NEUROSCIENCE

The Center for Biblical Neuroscience is committed to exploring and publishing biblically-based, scientifically-tested resources for use by our clients as well as other professionals and ministers. 

CLERGY CARE CENTER 

Our Clergy Care Center has two very specific objectives: provide biblically-based, scientifically-tested written resources as well as personalized counseling and mentoring services. Jim Rose is a third -generation ordained minister and licensed professional counselor bringing nearly 40 years of experience to the task. 

CENTER FOR SPURGEON STUDIES 

Charles H. Spurgeon was one of the greatest ministers in church history. His ministry success cannot be understood apart from his extraordinary suffering and so the Center for Spurgeon Studies publishes research detailing his life and ministry.
