"After joining CLI my attitude, perspective, and understanding of God's word changed dramatically. Though I joined CLI for the sake of time, convenience, and low-cost, the quality of the education and the fellowship kept me."

- Biniyam F.
Bachelor of Christian Leadership

"My learning experience at CLI has been one of the most intellectually stimulating, profoundly spiritual, and absolutely joyful opportunities that have ever come into my life. I enrolled at CLI after a church colleague of mine sent me the link to sign up. This colleague was well aware that I was seeking a high-quality Christian education without going broke in the process. I already had a Bachelor's Degree, but I wanted to continue to learn from an equally high-quality college that offered a similarly challenging yet stimulating Christian Education."

- Curtis S.
Bachelor of Chaplaincy

"At Christian Leaders Institute I have learned how to love and care for all types of people, grow with others, encourage others, and what it means to put others before myself. CLI has taught me to put God at the center of everything I do. All that I have learned at CLI has had a positive impact on my life and the lives of those around me presently and in the future because I have learned how to impact others in a positive way and find joy in serving others and Jesus Christ. With the education I have received I look forward to becoming a leader in my local church and becoming involved in hospice ministry."

- Melissa H.
Associate of Christian Leadership

"Now that I have graduated, I plan to use all the knowledge I have acquired at Christian Leaders Institute in my ministry, marriage, family, and the corporate work, I do. I have planned to recommend this institution to others too and come back later to pursue the other programs as well. I recommend this institution to anyone who has ministry at heart."

- Animuonyam D.
Bachelor of Christian Leadership

"The most important takeaways of CLI are broad academic knowledge and life application of scriptures gained through highly qualified but exemplary characteristics of lecturers who are thoroughly committed to the great commission of their master, our Lord Jesus Christ."
