We Train Ministers
Certificate Program – 4CMI offers a non accredited two-year Certificate in Ministry program that includes supervised ministry experience, discipleship training, and courses in Bible, theology, and ministry. The program can be completed at an undergraduate or graduate level.
A la Carte Courses – 4CMI allows students to enroll in courses without being accepted into the certificate program. This is ideal for students who want to complete a degree with an accredited university partner.
We Strengthen Churches
Leadership Training – 4CMI makes course lecture videos available to onboard and/ or train elders, staff members, volunteer leaders, teachers, or group leaders. They also make excellent discussion starters for classes, groups, and youth studies.
Church Residency Program – 4CMI offers coaching, resources, and tools to local churches that want to raise up and train ministers through their own highly practical and supervised residency program.
Assessment Instruments – 4CMI offers two robust church assessment instruments. One measures 16 factors that contribute to a healthy church leadership culture, and the other one measures the effectiveness of 12 distinct areas of church ministry.
We Build Networks
Ministry Network – 4CMI brings together a nationwide network of ministers, coaches, churches, nonprofits, and universities that share the common goal of building strong local congregations that effectively live out the Great Commission in their communities.
Educational Partners – 4CMI partners with ten accredited universities that will accept courses toward undergraduate or graduate degree programs and/or that use 4CMI as a curriculum provider.
