As this is a self paced program, each student is required to complete and send finished course work via email to course@christianlivingministry.org

No student is allowed to perform any ceremony or service without first contacting Christian Living Ministry until they are fully ordained.

Any student who accepts a scholarship or payment plan is not eligible to any refund if that student cancels or does not finish the required work.

Any student who pays full tuition, and cancels within 30 day, are entitled to full refund minus shipping expense. All course materials must be returned in the same condition prior to a refund being sent.

If a student cancels the program and he/she was on a payment plan or paid in full after 30 days, he/she is not entitled to a refund. Any student who cancels the program while on a payment plan and has not finished making payments is required to return all course materials and certificates within 10 days. No refunds are available. If a student cancels the program and has paid for the course in full, that student may keep the program and study materials but are absolved from the Commission, License or Ordination with Christian Living Ministry.

If a student cancels the program and has not made full payment for the program and does not return the program within 10 days, that student will be billed for the entire Bible Certification program that was posted at that time. As of June 1, 2008 that price is $300 for the Old Testament Program, $300 for the New Testament Program or $575 for both programs. Any Commission, License or Ordination will be absolved.

Definitions

Commissioned Pastor or Minister - Those who have recognized the call and anointing of God on their lives but who have just entered into the ministry and will, if such anointing and call is confirmed, work their way to licensing and ordination. A Commissioned Pastor or Minister, can only perform a sermon or any ceremony by first forwarding all information about the Sermon or Ceremony and must obtain written approval beforehand for each instance.

Licensed Pastor or Minister - Those called and anointed of God to minister to the Body of Christ who are in training under the authority of Christian Living Ministry and are working toward full ordination of those who have been ordained. A Licensed Minister may only preach sermons on topics that he or she has passed the required coursework. Any ceremonies must be approved prior by Christian Living Ministry. Once a ceremony or sermon has been approved by Christian Living Ministry, that sermon or ceremony may be given or performed again without additional approvals.

Ordained Pastor or Minister - Any person who has completed the required workload or has been granted approval by the President or Sr Pastor of Christian Living Ministry and has accepted our statement of faith. This person is authorized to exercise all the rights and privileges of an Ordained Pastor or Minister while maintaining a Godly life and a Scriptural standard of teaching. This person can choose to work under the guidance of Christian Living Ministry or may choose to work as a Pastor or Minister without the guidance of Christian Living Ministry as long as they continue to follow our guidelines and statement of faith.

Tests - We offer a student who claims an advanced knowledge of the Bible to take the final exam. The final exam is an open book test with 100 questions and the student has 1 hour to complete the final exam. If a student receives an 80 or better, that student will have all 60 credits awarded to him or her. If a student receives a score of 50 - 79, that student may receive credits for areas that the student passed or may not receive any credits depending on what areas the student failed. If a student receives a grad below 50 that student will not receive any credits and must complete the entire course. Any student who receives less that 50 is no longer eligible to receive a licensed pastor certificate and must complete all the assignments and retake the final exam if his/her counselor deems it necessary. If a student does not receive a score higher than 50, we will not notify that student. That student may contact his/her counselor to discuss the exam. Students who earn credits from the test will be notified of such credits and students who receive an 80 or above will be notified within 5 business days to arrange the ordination ceremony.
