Hey there, pastor or ministry leader!
Chances are you have identified some of these needs within your own congregation:
- Unsure how to study the Word of God effectively
- Not confident to defend the faith
- People lacking equipping for the work of the ministry
If so, then you have come to the right place!
The Contender’s Discipleship Initiative (CDI) is a great resource for pastors, Bible study leaders, or anybody who wants to deepen their knowledge of scripture and grow in their walk with the Lord. Plus, it’s even better when you learn as a group!
CDI consists of 6 compact but rigorous courses to equip people to:
- Know what they believe
- Know why they believe it
- And to help them share their faith with others
Sounds pretty neat, right? But you may be wondering what the classes are. Let’s take a brief look at what you’ll learn in CDI:
Churches, organizations, and Bible studies all over the U.S. & Canada – and even around the world! – have used CDI to grow as believers and train future leaders in ministry.
And we haven’t even mentioned 2 of the best things about CDI.
It’s 100% TUITION-FREE and 100% ONLINE.
Apart from a few textbooks, the entire CDI coursework – the student manuals, course mentor manuals, and all lessons – are completely free of charge! And because all the materials are available online, your group can go through the classes anywhere, anytime.
But don’t just take it from us. Read these testimonials from fellow pastors:
“In February we began the CDI Christian Doctrine and Theology course at Highland Community Church. Then the Covid-19 virus hit and the shelter in place mandate was announced. As a Village Missions pastor of a church with limited to no resources, I scrambled to figure out if and how we could continue the course without meeting in person.
“Having used Zoom for other non-church meetings before, I jumped on setting up our next class to meet without a layover. The students were so excited to discover that with Zoom’s screen sharing feature, we could continue to watch the video lectures together and have face to face discussions. I thank God for this resource that was a great help in sustaining our ministry in these challenging times!”
– Pastor Mike Walker, Galloway, NJ
“I am grateful for [this] tool that allows us to continue the process of building up the body to do the work of ministry.”
– Pastor Martin Cole, Ocean Park, Washington
