A.
Purpose
The Certificate of Biblical Leadership
(CBL) program is designed to assist
a local church in developing lay
leaders for a variety of ministries.
These leaders
might be responsible for ministry in a class, cell, or affinity group. The CBL
program incorporates classes and experiences that equip leaders through a balance
of biblical, theological, and practical training. The CBL program blends IGSL
resourced classes and local church "homegrown" classes/trainings, all
at a certificate level.
Classes are held in local churches in the Manila community. For information about
the schedule of classes or setting up CBL training in your church, contact the
Extension Department at extension@glg-igsl.org
