Is This Real?

Let’s answer the biggest question first—credibility, expectations, and what CLI is (and isn’t).

⏱️ Expected time: 6–10 minutes

Watch: A quick welcome + credibility overview

Quick Proof Stack

  • Longstanding ministry with a global student body
  • Graduates serving in churches, chaplaincy, and the marketplace
  • Structured degree pathways with real coursework and capstones
  • Accessible learning built for real life (work, family, ministry)
If you’re skeptical, good—that means you care about doing this the right way.

What CLI Is / Isn’t

✅ CLI is: serious, structured, ministry-forming, and accessible.
❌ CLI isn’t: a shortcut, a diploma mill, or a “hobby-only” path.
⚠️ Not for everyone: If you want easy credentials without formation, this won’t be a fit.
