Students say:

I am so thrilled for the opportunity this program gives me to carry out the call I have from the Lord. My ministry work is enhanced through this learning process. It is awesome to know I have fellow students to network with. It is also wonderful to have the support of experienced faculty to guide me in this journey. Most of all I feel blessed I can still home-school my children and do kingdom work for the Lord as I learn. I also think it is important to note that I am a totally blind student. This delivery method has allowed me to be totally involved in the program. God is good!

I find the seminary program to be intellectually stimulating and challenging while at the same time helping me grow exponentially in my relationship with God.

Wendy Sanders

When I started the CFM program I never dreamed where it would take me. The classes have challenged me, yet invigorated my faith. My love for the Lord has never been deeper. My commitment to ministry has never been more clear. My experiences in the CFM program have literally opened up new doors of opportunity. As challenging as juggling work, home, and school can be, I’ve never regretted the time and effort I’ve put into it. The CFM program has been a blessing to me.
