Past Students Said…
“I learned that there is an awful lot more to ministering to a church via a CLM appointment that just filling the pulpit.”
“This module was very informative and filled in a few blanks I was unsure of. I also learned valuable ideas from my fellow classmates.”
“The course was intense and fast paced and that kept me on my toes. The other participants in the course were very knowledgeable and added to the course experience.”
“The course’s assigned readings were excellent; informative and Biblical. Conversations with class members added much to the course. There is a lot of material but it is so significant that it made me want more!”
“I learned to re-discover my gifts in ministry, including my shortcomings.”
“I learned aspects of preachers, pastoral care, discipleship, teaching, and worship planning. I think I expanded my understanding and scope of knowledge in the area of pastoral care the most.”
“I have found this process to be challenging and thought provoking. I earned three university degrees years ago and this is one of the best intellectual challenges I have had since.”
“I learned how to set up lesson plans to write my outlines for a sermon. I learned how to use a lectionary to get Bible verses and music that relates to the Bible verses for the date the sermon is to be given.”
“The course has all the answers for the struggles I’ve gone through as a lay supply pastor these last seven years.”
