Since that time we have been able to train several hundred believers for service in the vineyard of the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>The School is non-denominational and non-sectarian in nature. It is our sole purpose to introduce believers into the world of a Biblical disciple. Every course we offer has that focus at heart.<\/p>\n<p>We are not a seminary nor a Bible College. While those venues are good and necessary in many cases, our School has a different design. Each of our classes meet only once a week. But it is out of these weekly classes that the world of the disciple begins to flower.<\/p>\n<p>All I can tell you is that beginning with the first class of the Disciple&#8217;s Heart Training Program, you will realize the uniqueness of the CCI School for Christian Workers. <em><span style=\"color: #800000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">(Sorry &#8211; We do not offer on-line classes.)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The motto of the School is,<strong><em><span style=\"color: #003300; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\"> &#8216;Preparing Servants for the Nations&#8217;.<\/span><\/em><\/strong> What we emphasis is what the prophet stated, <span style=\"color: #000080;\">&#8220;<em>He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #003300; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">The Disciple\u2019s Heart Training Program I<\/span><\/strong><\/em>, is the mother course of our school.
