Statement of Faith
Christian Leaders Institute is a ministry of Christian Leaders. We are a 501 (c) 3 non-profit ministry. Christian Leaders started in 2002 as a ministry dedicated to planting and supporting reproducible, multi-generational, and multi-relational discipleship and evangelism. We use the term home-discipleship to accent the point that when the home is strong and supported in walking with God, the church prospers. There are various manifestations of a home. A home may be a single walking with God; a home may be a single or a married couple with no children present; a home may be a married couple with children present. We seek to train pastors and leaders for the church to live and reproduce a vital, daily walk with God.
Our board members have a passion to disciple the nations.
