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.

"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.
