In this way, the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power. (Acts 19:20)
Overview: This class takes many principles of marketing and integrates them with a biblical framework for planting sustainable, reproducible churches. (This class can be used as a marketing core requirement for the Degree program or as an elective in all programs. You can only use this course once in your program.)
Course Outcomes:
- Form godly character and spiritual mentality to become a church planter.
- Understand the need and opportunity for planting more churches.
- Develop vision, strategy, and skills for healthy, sustainable church planting.
- Identify and overcome hindrances to church planting.
- Consider various church planting models and evaluate a target community.
- Know how to cultivate leaders, form small groups, build stewardship, publicize a church launch, and accomplish other practical aspects of church planting.
Resources: CLI has a partnership with Multiplication Network Ministries. Christian Leaders Institute is pleased to promote their material and practices in planting mentor-supporting church plants everywhere.
Assignments:
1. View all online lectures and read all articles on each topic. Active engagement with course materials prior to attempting the quiz is required for each unit. If a resource is provided in multiple formats, simply choose whichever format best supports your learning. CLI’s system tracks your viewing history to determine meaningful engagement. Make sure you are logged into your student account when viewing or downloading the materials.
2. Take the online quiz for each unit. You will have 75 minutes to answer 20 multiple-choice questions for each quiz. Each quiz covers the readings and video lectures for that unit. Once a quiz has started, you must finish it, and you cannot retake it.
Quizzes must be completed independently. The use of AI tools, search engines, other websites, or assistance from other individuals is prohibited.
Quizzes are open-note. You may reference your own notes or any of the provided CLI course materials during the quiz. However, you should plan to study materials prior to attempting the quiz.
Quiz Tip: First answer the questions you know. Then use your own notes or the provided CLI course materials to help answer any questions you are unsure about.
3. At the end of the course, you will be invited to complete a brief Course Feedback Survey. Your feedback helps CLI evaluate the course and identify opportunities for improvement.
Course Forum
Each course forum is located near the beginning of the course, immediately before the first course-content section. The forum allows students to post course-related questions and comments for other currently enrolled students to view and discuss. You can also search previous posts to see whether your question or topic has already been addressed.
The forum is intended primarily for peer discussion and may not receive an immediate response. Questions or concerns requiring timely assistance should be directed to the Help Desk at helpdesk@christianleaders.net.

Read the Testimony of this Fellow Christian Leaders Institute Student
CLI is helping to equip him as a Church Planter!
CLI Student George Acevdo Jr.
"I joined CLI in September 2016 after much prayer. I searched for a Bible school that would prepare me in the Word. I had a calling, but I didn’t have knowledge. I needed to learn more about the teachings of the Gospel, and the things I needed to do on becoming a pastor and learning about evangelizing, theology, church history and so much more. I also learned through the Holy Spirit to be patient with myself, trust the Lord, and prepare better. I knew I would have struggles with English, Math, and Science, but I could succeed because CLI has great professors and a remarkable curriculum. I prayed, trusted the Lord, and forged ahead.
I have been a Sunday school teacher, a Youth Leader, Men’s Ministry Leader, Worship Leader. I received my Officiant Ordination , Ordination for Ministry, and Church Planting Ordination certificates and Letters of Good Standing. I believe I am ready to be a Pastor and a future Church Planter. I want to be able to serve in the field looking after his sheep, bringing the good news of salvation, and proclaiming the day of the Lord that is to come.
I believe this ordination will be of great blessing to my life. Not because of any title I might have, but because as I help others in their walk with God, I will become closer to Him. I know the Lord will hold us to account for his people. I want to produce good fruit for His glory!"Please pray for George! If you would like, you can join Vision Partners in supporting Christian leaders like him.
