  • Intermediate Awards - You will be seen differently!

Christian Leaders Institute will help you advance with your ministry training. As you complete free ministry training classes, your study takes you beyond basic awards of under 30 credit hours to enter our Intermediate Award program. These mission credentials include study from 30-60 credit hours.

Intermediate Award Benefits

  • Qualifies you for many bi-vocational or vocational ministry roles.
  • Opens up more Ordained Minister Roles with the Christian Leaders Alliance.
  • Your Mission Credentials can be converted to Collegiate Credentials through completing our Collegiate Credential Class that admits you into CLI’s Leadership Excellence School.
  • Your Mission Credentials will be recognized by Coach Approach Ministries when our new certification partnership begins in July of 2019. Christian Leaders Ministries is launching a Life Coach Minister ordination program as well.
  • Gives you greater biblical and ministry insights for your own spiritual and ministry growth.

Christian Leaders Institute Intermediate Awards

Getting Christian Leaders Institute Mission credentials can change the course of your life. Completing some courses in a focus area brings you a new level of expertise. That expertise will bring you new options for your life, volunteer work or professional vocation. Do not underestimate the difference accomplishing Mission credentials can have on your ministry calling.

Currently, Christian Leaders Institute offers three areas of Intermediate Award study. We call these areas, Tracks. They are:

  • Ministry Track
  • Christian Enterprise Track
  • Restorative Justice Track: The Restorative Justice Track is found at our Ignite Restoration Website: Click here. The Restorative Justice program exists to give hope for former offenders and others who are doing service in this area.
