"A college-level
program of study and training has been a part of our mission statement for
years. When God introduced us to Mark Virkler and Christian Leadership
University we discovered with great delight that all the preparation had been
done. We were able to begin the following semester.
"Though the excellent
curriculum is well-designed, each local campus has the flexibility to
incorporate up to 40% of its own curriculum. This enables each campus to
design its curriculum to meet the unique needs of its constituency.
"We are very excited
about the privilege of being an integral part of the development of Christian
Leadership University. What an opportunity to be trained in excellence of
service to our Lord and King."
Warmly,

"Dear Pastor,
Southtowns Christian
Center has used Christian Leadership University's Lamad Curriculum for several
years, and I highly recommend this program to your ministry. CLU uses a Holy
Spirit led, systematic and disciplined approach to Christian higher education.
This approach uses curriculum that is practically proven by application and
not simply theoretical. It is hands on! CLU offers your church the opportunity
to provide fully accredited undergraduate and graduate degree programs to your
congregation and community at an affordable tuition. This program allows your
church to establish a true discipleship program that can also financially
bless your church as well.
"CLU provides all
the support you can use or need in establishing and maintaining your own Bible
school, while allowing you to escape the problems of attempting it
independently. You get all of the benefits and none of the drawbacks. CLU
offers supporting structure by maintaining a large number of national
leaders/mentors with proven expertise in a variety of ministry areas. In His
`Great Commission, Jesus commands the Church to make disciples, and CLU can
be of enormous potential to you in accomplishing that command.
"We have been
blessed, and we have seen many Christians blessed in their own lives as a
result of our Disciple Training School. We have watched Christians mature and
grow spiritually. We have watched people accomplish more than they ever
thought was possible. We have watched men and women reach towards their
potential in Christ and then touch and change the world around them as a
result."
In Christs Service,

"As the President of
Word of Life School of Ministry and the Pastor of Praise Fellowship Church, I
would like to encourage you to examine the Church-centered Bible School
package by Dr. Mark Virkler. We have used his curriculum packages for the last
15 years in our own Church-centered Bible School and found them to bring
spiritual transformation to our students.
"The textbook and
course Communion With God has been one of the most popular and
life-changing courses we have offered. It has brought both me and our church
into two-way prayer in a way I hardly dreamed possible. It has brought intense
spiritual reality to all our lives.
"Please feel free to
call me if you have any questions concerning this curriculum package."
