Bible Study Leader Award

A Bible Study Leader Award is available at Christian Leaders Institute. Christian leaders fill many roles and being a study leader is one of them. This Bible study leader award fits a volunteer Bible study leader in a local setting.

Ministry Leaders training program says that you have studied and mastered the essential elements needed if you are called to serve in ministry. Bible study is imperative for building the church. Most people are ignorant of what the Bible says. Dr. Richard J. Krejcir wrote an article in Churchleadership.org, which stresses The Importance of Bible Study.

The Bible Study Ministry Program focuses on six building blocks.

After you complete your admissions activity, you will need to complete the following classes:

1. Christian Leaders Connections (3 Credits)

The Christian Leaders Connections class is designed as a “great start class.” In this course, you can take the quizzes more than once.
