Christian Leaders Institute Programs

Hi, everyone. My name is Abigail Alfree. I'm a staff member here at Christian Leaders. In this video, we are going to be discussing Christian Leaders Institute and its programs. As you've learned through this course, you're already here. You're at Christian Leaders Institute. Welcome. You've learned about the free courses that are offered that are available any time in which you can work at your own pace and that are completely free. 

But Christian Leaders Institute also offers ministry study programs that give you credentials. The first of those programs is the awards. Awards are programs of study that are under 30 credit hours or under 3,000 points. The next level are certificates. Certificates are 30 to 60 credit hours or 3,000 to 6,000 points. And finally, there are diplomas. This is the highest level, which is anything over 60 credit hours or over 6,000 points. So, you can always explore these credentials on your guidance and credential panel. It will give a list of all of them available and you can click on them, and the courses required will drop down there for you.

Here is a brief list of kind of the main areas of study that these credentials encompass. So, pretty much anything you're interested in, it's likely there is a credential available for your through Christian Leaders Institute. The main thing that these credentials offer you is global recognition. You can always download the award, certificate, or diploma completely free right from your guidance and credential panel. This picture, here, in the bottom of the screen, right under the award, it will give you the option to download it. 

However, if you would like the official award signed by President Henry, signed by Provost David Feddes with an official seal on it sent right to your doorstep, you can also do this right from the guidance and credential panel by clicking the order button. Or you can take a look at them at ChristianLeadersStore.com. Awards are typically $50, certificates are $70 to $80, and diplomas are $100.

In addition to these credentials, another program of the Institute is mini courses. Mini courses are shorter, more condensed courses usually under five hours of training that are more topic-specific. Here's a list of all the mini courses currently offered. And that list is growing every week. As you can see here, mini courses administer points. This is a way to differentiate from full-length courses, which give credit. Mini courses also have student forums instead of quizzes, where students can answer the questions posed in the course and also reply and discuss with other students.

Mini courses are starting to be encompassed in programs such as the commended ministry program, which is part of the Alliance, which you'll learn about soon. So, again, welcome to Christian Leaders Institute. I hope this video is helpful and informing you of all the different credentials and programs offered through the Institute. We are so glad you're here and we are so excited to see the progress you make. God bless you.
