Please note that Christian Living Bible Institute (CLBI) is a program authorized by Christian Living Ministry (CLM) to provide the training and materials needed to be ordained by Christian Living Ministry. CLBI does not ordain an individual. CLM does not require anyone to take the course at CLBI and will accept credits from accredited seminaries to be ordained. CLM has worked with CLBI to provide this program at an affordable price so someone can become an ordained pastor or minister.

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, is 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 may be 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 November 1, 2011 that price is $300 for the Old Testament Program, $300 for the New Testament Program or $475 for both programs. Any Commission, License or Ordination may be absolved by Christian Living Ministry as this would be a violation of their statement of faith..

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.
