Free Online Bible College -Christian Leaders Institute is an free online Bible college that offers over 20 free classes covering a variety of topics. Of course, many traditional Bible colleges now offer distance learning as part of their curriculum. With the growth of technology, it’s imperative that more is done online even by institutions of education. Christian Leaders Institute isn’t just another seminary with an online piece to it. It is an free online Bible college – a Bible college with resources, classes, and assignment submission processes that exist entirely online.
The impact of CLI is often best seen in the reflections of students who have gone through the classes. Sam Arthur’s experience with Sermon Construction and Presentation can best be summed up by the following statement from his reflection paper:
My knowledge of the ‘positives’ and the ‘negatives’ of each type of sermon will also guide me to avoid some mistakes that preachers make, especially those who have not been exposed to the knowledge about variety of sermon types. Since I know of the advantages of the various approaches to preaching, I will preach better and have a better impact on the congregation, to the glory of God.
Sam Arthur has already completed several classes at Christian Leaders Institute, and is enrolled in still more for the coming semester. Because Sam lives in Ghana, this training would be difficult for him to obtain without the availability of an online Bible college like CLI. The internet presence of Christian Leaders Institute allows access to people like Sam in any country in the world where internet is available.
Free Online Bible College Keeps Classes Free
Christian Leaders Institute is not just an free online Bible college, it is also free to all students. This is important to many students, since often they come from poor countries, or poor areas of a country, and don’t have the financial means or the time to attend a traditional seminary. The distance learning programs can provide an alternative, but to those overseas where books would not be delivered quickly could experience problems in that regard. Also, it still carries with it the costs of the seminary, which many students cannot afford. This is why Christian Leaders Institute keeps all their classes free. In the introductory class, a 14 session class intended to both offer a basic understanding of Christianity and introduce the user to CLI, Sam Arthur gives some of his reasons for choosing CLI.
Currently I am self-employed and my finances are not in the best of shape. If I could have, I would have paid for and attended the Assemblies of God Bible College in Ghana. I still believe God will help me sort out my finances so I can meet my obligations and continue with the support I used to give when I was in active employment.
Hundreds of other students – leaders who God has called as workers in His harvest – have come to CLI for similar reasons. Many of them are already leading churches. Many are already teaching. Yet they all have one thing in common. They all feel the Spirit of God calling them into the ministry. Without the availability of an free online Bible college and the freedom to give as little or as much as you can afford to the organization, many of these called leaders would continue to preach the word of God without being equipped with the ministry training tools CLI provides.

Preschool Ministry – Some leaders at Christian Leaders Institute are training for preschool ministry at the local church. Many do not believe that ministry training for those in preschool ministry is necessary, but we believe it is never too early to bring faith formative training for children.

effective at preschool ministry. One course that is very helpful is Church and Ministry. In this class many dimensions for church ministry are covered. Leaders in preschool ministry also find the theology classes helpful for bringing scriptural truth to students.
One of the students at Christian Leaders Institute is Cassandra Poole. Listen to how God is working in Cassandra’s life and how she is being directed to preschool ministry and why Christian Leaders Institute is helping her.
Preschool Ministry Student Cassandra Poole
My name is Cassandra Poole and I live in America. I love that I am able to live freely in my faith and my walk. I grew up knowing about the Lord but truly surrendered my life to him at age 23. I suffered from some health issues and was brought to my knees. Thankfully my parents had set a foundation in Christ in me, so I knew exactly where to turn. I identify most with being a small group leader because I am the director at my church’s preschool.
My job is to encourage and grow the teachers in the Lord so that they may do so for their students. I never thought I would end up in leadership, so when it happened I was both excited and surprised. In my geographic area, we are able to speak freely about our faith but although we are free to speak about our faith, it is not always well perceived. My church is so supportive. I meet twice a week with our lead pastor and monthly with the leadership team.
Cassandra could not have received this ministry training since her resources are limited, but through Christian Leaders Institute she has graduated from the Christian Basics Class and has received her full scholarship for further studies.

– 2Timothy 4:1-8
Very often we use the term itch as to refer to an uncomfortable feeling. In its definition itch means: “A feeling felt on an area of the skin that causes a person or
By: Y a T R a
animal to want to scratch. «The French word for this is “Démangeaison.” And in Spanish it’s “Picor”. In other words an itch is a desire, something we want and we do our utmost best to have whether its consequences will be good or bad. 2 Timothy4:3 says ” For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings.” In this verse Paul don’t speak about itching skin but about itching ears. Some may ask how can my ears itch me without provoking a desire to scratch my skin ?The itch that’s referred to isn’t a physical experience but a spiritual experience that is to say, it’s a spiritual desire that you do your best to fulfill. To be more precise what do you seek or Who do you seek? This sermon that is going to be presented unto you contains two phases. Firstly a phase of encouragement, secondly a phase of warning.
We should itch:
I) ….For GOD’s word
A) Most people refuse to listen to GOD’s word; they rather listen to amusing stories, to sound doctrines. But it is important not only to hear but to listen to the word of GOD because GOD’s word transforms, changes and above all it gives faith. Paul under the anointing of the HOLY SPIRIT underlines that fact when he declares in Hebrews 11:7“Faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of CHRIST.”
B) Therefore we as Christians should be itching to hear the word of GOD. Many Christians fail to know what GOD wants from them that is the reason why they stray. As children of GOD we should seek to know what GOD expects from us. We should meditate on his words Psalm 1:1-2 “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, not sits in the seat of scoffers, but his delight is in the law of the LOED, and on His law he meditates day and night.”
II) ….To seek GOD’s presence
A) In GOD’s presence there is protection, security, there is fullness of joy. “As the deer pantheth for the water so my soul longeth after you” Psalms 49:1
B) We as Christians our desire should be itching for the things of GOD for the presence of GOD. In every situation we ought to seek GOD’s face. “And ye shall seek me and find me when he shall seek me with all your heart” Jeremiah 29:13
III) ….To proclaim the word in season and out of season
A) Leaders let your mouth itch to speak GOD’s word at all time. Don’t try to find ways to give to the people what they are itching for. But itch to give to them just what GOD commands you to.
2 Timothy 4:2
“Preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching.”
B) Be GOD’s mouth. The word must be voiced as it is given by GOD without operating any changes in order for it to be pleasant unto the people or in order to preserve the people. GOD’s word has to be accepted as it is.
For example When the spokesman of the king is given a message for the people he gather the people and read the message saying “Thus sayeth the king” or such as the prophet Isaiah in the book of Isaiah 1:20 ” For the mouth of the LORD has spoken”. He doesn’t add nor subtract a word from the original message given unto him by the king. He is just a medium through which GOD communicates with His people.
In conclusion our main desire should be for GOD. Nothing should be more important in our life; we should not allow anything or anyone to separate us from GOD. In Matthew 6:33 JESUS himself urges us saying “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things shall be yours as well”.
GOD’s central preoccupation is our well-being that’s why He gave His best unto us. He gave us His only son JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth to die on the cross so that we could be saved. Let us itch to offer our best , our all unto GOD just as He has given us His all through CHRIST.
