Past Students Said…
“I learned a lot more about the history, structure of the Methodist church, and the role CLMs can have within this structure.”
“Good course content and length. I like the focus on heritage and the Book of Discipline, and several assignments were challenging. This is probably the hardest and best course of the 4 required for CLM.”
“This course revisited some very important areas – types of grace, involvement with the conference – just to name a couple of things.”
“For me, the material was easy to understand, and it led me to do some additional research on my own.”
“I learned that I am part of a team and I don’t take this journey by myself. I need to speak up, ask for clarification when I need it, and never stop studying/learning/growing in my service to Jesus Christ, my Savior.”
“The study material was so helpful. I have increased my understanding of my denomination and how to appreciate the wonders of God. Thank you so much.”
