School Of Ministry

The CLI School of Ministry exists to equip God’s people to become ministers after God’s heart, to do His work, and to build up the church, the body of Christ.

Do you feel a stirring in your heart for ministry? A hunger to know God's Word more deeply and to follow Him in a closer, transformative way? CLI’s School of Ministry is available to individuals within CLI Church as an arm of discipleship that exists to equip God’s people to become ministers after God’s heart.

School of Ministry is a community within our church that meets together regularly for classes, fellowship, prayer, and more! The School of Ministry is a place where you can come and shadow the classes, glean from the teachings and community, and discover what the Lord may have here for you. Your time with us may be seasonal, and we welcome you to come and receive from the Lord at His leading!

School of Ministry is also a place where individuals within CLI Church can come to receive training and formal ministerial credentials at the direction and leading of the Holy Spirit.

Individuals have two credentialing options:

1). A Ministry Certificate acknowledging the individual’s hard work and accomplishment.

2). Ministry Licensure / Ordination that provides an opportunity for formal ministry.
