As in most general education college courses, some of the materials and viewpoints in this course may differ from Christian Leaders Institute's official stance. However, CLI does think it is important for students to be aware of the different ideas and theories that are out there in a particular subject, even if some of these theories, ideas, or opinions are controversial.
Course Forum
Each course forum is at the beginning of the course, right before the first course content section, and has comments and questions from other students in the class. The forum is a great way to post a question or comment for other students who are currently enrolled in the course to see. Additionally, you can search the forum to see if anyone in the past has addressed or discussed the issue, question, or comment you were wanting to post about.
Note: You have 180 days to complete the course work. If you do not finish by the final deadline, you will be automatically unenrolled, all course work will be removed, and you will have to start over. Please take this course very seriously. It is a gift to you by generous contributors and the staff of Christian Leaders Institute.

Read the Inspiring Testimony of this Fellow Christian Leaders Institute Student
CLI Student Stephanie Amadeo
"I came to know Jesus as my savior and Lord when I met someone that explained a deep connection and real relationship with God. I was intrigued, I had never heard of anything like it before. I started praying and searching for the things I was told were possible. I found it all and so much more, for me it was and always will be prayer that connects me to God like nothing else. It is how I learned His heart and His desires for my life, it is how I learned what He sees in me and what He wants for me.
I hope to use my training to start a different kind of church. One that focuses more on relationship and a little less on religion. I have some experience in ministry, I have taught classes and Bible studies, but nothing close to running a church. It is terrifying and I do not feel qualified to do it. I am hoping Christian Leaders Institute will provide me with all the tools and knowledge I will need to lead people to God.
Before I knew God, I got my degree in Criminal Justice. I wanted to help people and make a difference in my community. It did not work out the way that I had hoped and now I am drowning in student loan debt. Now that I know my passion and purpose, I have been wanting to go to Bible college for some time, but I cannot take on more debt to do it.
When I found Christian Leaders Institute I was hesitant to start because honestly, it sounded too good to be true. God kept bringing it up and pushing me to start classes. I had an email from CLI pop up on my phone right after I asked God what my next step was. You are the answer to my prayers, and I am so grateful for this opportunity. Thank you CLI."
Please pray for Stephanie and her ministry!
