"When I compared other institutions offering courses in this area CLI’s courses were of higher quality, very detailed, packed with valuable information and totally beneficial to what I needed. I chose this degree because I am a Chaplain and I wanted in depth education in this specific area of study to continue with my Chaplaincy work." - Peter B.
"My studies have transformed my life and given me tremendous knowledge, skills, and understanding that I will cherish and use. It has been an experience that has been full of successes and challenges, but I took lessons from each moment and will seek to apply them in the path that lays ahead of me in my faith, ministry, and leadership. God has called me to be a servant and into this chaplaincy ministry. It is essential to know what the role entails and what qualifications you need to meet. I desire to seek knowledge and the necessary information to help do ministry. This degree will position me to provide counseling and spiritual and pastoral care to people in different locations and settings. will provide spiritual guidance and support to many individuals, for I will continue to be Jesus’ arm extended.

"I choose a degree in Chaplaincy because I want to help people from all walks of life. I am also interested in ministering to senior citizens. I was brought up by my grandmother and I always wanted to give back to her, so I will use my degree and all the knowledge that I acquired at CLC to minister to the elderly. The knowledge that I have acquired at CLI is helping me to be an effective leader in the church and body of Christ." - Shiloh M.

Bachelor of Chaplaincy Alumni Testimonies:
"I just couldn't get enough of the brilliant information that CLC offered in every single class. I absorbed it like a sponge, it went deep into my spirit and blessed me every day. It was very challenging, very stimulating, and very rewarding. The information flowed and blended into a symphony that is like no other.
Going forward, this stunningly, magnificent, well-thought out information that I have been trained in by CLC will be utilized in many ways - here are only a few:
- Adding on to the children's ministry that God has given me - I have incorporated many of the ideas provided in the Disability Smart curriculum. I wasn't aware of all the tools available to me until I took this class
- Setting me up to complete a Master's degree in Chaplaincy
- Setting me up to complete a Master's degree in Christian Counseling (The Marriage Ministry class was beyond awesome)
- Dividing the Word of God more accurately (Theology I and Theology II - beautiful)
- Better constructed sermons (Sermon Construction - excellent class curriculum)
- Biblical Interpretation I and II (my FAVORITE - taught from the Holy Land in a way that deepened my biblical knowledge profoundly)" - Curtis S.
