Video Transcript: Congratulations! Your next steps
Congratulations Your next steps Congratulations! You've completed the Getting Started class part one and part two. You are a student of Christian Leaders Institute. And I want to, now, encourage you in your next steps. We actually have a special promotion for those of you in this Getting Started class to get your student ID for $15 instead of the usual $30. That's 50% off right now in this getting started class. Right below me, you can buy your own personalized student ID that we'll send to you. I highly encourage this as it is so amazing that you are now a part of this community and you are a student. Next, I want to assist you in your next steps at Christian Leaders Institute in what you need to enroll in, what you need to do. We have talked a lot in this course about your interest and some assessments about what you might be called to do. And maybe you know exactly what you're here to pursue - a degree, an ordination, a license, a certificate. You might know exactly what you want to pursue or what courses you simply want to take to grow your knowledge and skills in a various topic. But if you don't know what you want to do, we have a couple of recommendations. First, below me, you will find some tools that could help you find the course that you might want to take first and some tools to help you find the program that might fit you. So, I do want to encourage that is below. And we also have some Getting Started courses that we recommend for new students who maybe aren't sure exactly what they want to do, but they know they're called to take courses. If that's you, let me go over to my screen and recommend some of the courses that might be best for you as you're starting out as a new student. Let's go on over to my screen. You always have those updates, the news, all of that. And again, I do want to highlight this guidance and credential panel. This can also really help you explore what we have available, read about what you might need to take. I just want to re-highlight that guidance and credential panel. But next, I do want to highlight some of the main courses that we recommend. And you can even see, there, some of the first ones like our Christian Leaders Connection. This talks a lot about ministry basics and more about the Seven Connections and a lot about the DNA and what we're doing here at Christian Leaders. This is required for a lot of the different programs. So, I highly encourage you to take our Connections class. It's kind of a continuation of this course that you've just taken. The other one is our Christian Basics course. This is huge, because you can actually test out of this course and kind of show that you have good knowledge of the Bible. And so, this assessment, you have to get a 75 or higher, and then you will have automatically completed this course and passed. If you get lower, then you can just proceed to take this course and learn more about the fundamentals of Christianity. Then I have one final course to recommend, and I'm going to actually go over to the courses just to kind of show that. Under our Getting Started courses, we actually have this ministry training and academic literacy skill course. So, if you have not done higher education before, this is a great course to kind of walk you through the habits of success: time management, study, completing quizzes, the Christian world view, some of that stuff that would really help you succeed and move forward at Christian Leaders or if you go into the Alliance or the College. Whatever route is right for you, we do have tools below to try to help you. And of course, you can always email us if you need guidance on what might be the right route and role for you. So, email HelpDesk@ChristianLeaders.net if you need some help knowing what route to go. But otherwise, I recommend you take some of those first courses that I just pointed out. Or if you know what you're interested in, go to our courses and programs on the menu. Or take some of those course advisory and program advisory tools. I'm so excited that you have completed this and look forward to seeing what God is going to do in your life. God bless you.
