Turn Your Home Into a “School of the Spirit”

The Vision -  “Schools of the Spirit in Every Community:" You don’t have to go away to a Bible school or a School of Ministry. You can live in any city, in any country, attend any church, and still earn a Diploma in Applied Spirituality from Christian Leadership Universities School of the Spirit. CLU provides “DVD Spirit Life Training Modules” which feature fully downloadable DVD training experiences with accompanying online self-scoring quizzes, insuring you that you have mastered all key essential truths as you go through the modules. You can work through these modules alone or with a group.

Become a Mature Kingdom Citizen:  You will become intimate with God, healed, delivered, set free and able to minister to humanity the same compassionate healing touch that Jesus offered as He walked this earth. Growth occurs most quickly within the warmth of caring, loving relationships. When possible, invite a few friends to join you as these Spirit Life Modules foster sharing, prayer and ministry among participants.

Pastor Joel Trenkle is running these modules in small groups in his church

"Most, if not all the people taking advantage of the program are absolutely blown away by the impact these courses are having on their lives. A retired pastor told me his wife is  “stoked” about the two modules these ladies are doing and that she can’t wait for Thursdays when they meet.

I do not think this is due just to the courses, but it is also due to the communal atmosphere which has naturally been created by them. People need “direction” into a community atmosphere today more than ever before. Times are coming where we will need this.  It is my hope and prayer that through these modules, presented in church and home settings all over the globe that people will look forward to meeting together and experiencing the joy of  the Holy Spirit."  

These 21 DVD "Spirit Life Training Modules" Cover Bible and Life in the Spirit. All 160 teaching segments are presented from a practical, biblical and spiritual perspective. These are provided through Christian Leadership University - School of the Spirit.  Each of these biblically sound, revelation-based modules will enrich your life and the lives of all you share them with. This training was birthed and proven in real life struggles and victories. Your life will be transformed as you work your way through them. 

I so enjoy the revelation-based method of learning (and teaching). My learning from CLU has impacted my preaching, teaching, pastoral work, family, personal life, etc. I appreciate the fact that you have taken some risks to follow the path on which the Lord has led you. I am most grateful. — Rev. John Donnelly, Wayne, New Jersey

Invite Your Friends to Join With you in Your School of the Spirit - The DVDs, books and workbooks make these Spirit Life Training Modules ideal for personal, or group learning, so open your home and invite your home group, Sunday school class, church Bible School or School of Ministry to join with you in this anointed instruction. Watch lives change, marriages heal, and families experience restoration. All you need to do is to watch the DVD, follow along in the LEARN Workbook and then read a chapter from the text book each week. The rest takes care of itself. Your spouse and children (13 and up) can join and experience the joy of being mastered by the Word and by the Holy Spirit.

Students Love These Spirit Life Modules!

I've never loved studying and taking courses as much as I am loving my coursework through CLU. God is so amazing! - Linda Geyer, Phoenix, AZ

First, my wife and I really have been blessed by Mark's material. Dialog with God has revolutionized our walk with God. It has helped our walk to become what we always believed it should be like but we were simply not experiencing.

Thank you for your ministry and thank God for His faithfulness to speak to each one of His children. It has been a struggle but I feel as if I am coming to realize that God really does treat me as His favorite.

-- Stephen Conroy

The 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice Ministries website has helped me tremendously and really made me grow spiritually. I embrace them wholeheartedly and will recommend them unabashedly.

I didn't realize that it was so easy to hear God's voice or to see visions or have dreams or to walk in the spirit or to be healed of deep emotional pain.

Their books etc will teach you all of these things and so much more. Read them and be blessed.

Visit the website, buy the books, subscribe to the newsletter. These teachings must be shared. I can't keep these blessings to myself. They belong to the World. They belong to you. Thank you so very much, Mark Virkler. My life has been changed. I thank God for your ministry.

-- Tarik Carey
Kingston, Jamaica

Christian Leadership University offers without a doubt the most challenging and rewarding teachings I have ever received. I recommend this school to anyone who is serious about their Christian walk. You will never be the same after you take this journey - Rev. Al Morris II

Prior to enrolling at CLU, I had already earned three graduate degrees, including the Ph.D. But none of those educational experiences came close to the transformational impact of my studies at CLU. At first, I had no intention of pursuing another degree. In fact, I came across CLU while doing a web search on how to hear the voice of God. I was at a point in my life when I was hungry to hear God clearly and to know Him more intimately.

When I found Dr. Virkler's course, Communion with God, I immediately enrolled with the intention of taking only that course. But when I began to notice how Communion with God was radically changing my life, I wanted more. So that course led to another and then to another, until, finally, I have now completed the Doctor of Ministry degree in Christian Counseling.

It has been a most remarkable journey, one that I strongly encourage others to take. The faculty and staff at CLU are wonderful. Each loves God deeply, and this love is reflected in their selfless giving to their students. I am so thankful to our Lord, to Drs. Mark and Patti Virkler, to Dr. Karen King, and to the entire faculty and staff at CLU for playing a major role in helping me to become more like Jesus Christ. There is nothing I desire more and, in my opinion, nothing more to be desired.  - MaryAnn Diorio, New Jersey

This will be my last course for my degree but I am hooked and will begin another doctorate after this. I have never had such fun learning. - Dave Stoesz, Ontario, Canada

I have been blessed by this journey with CLU and my life is forever changing. I do not have the words to share with you right now, Mr. Virkler, but I will say that you have changed my life. Your obedience to God has affected my family, friends and community.

The Doctorate at CLU was the most important education I have ever had and will ever get. I received my B.A. in education and my M.A. in counseling from The University of Phoenix. My Doctorate with CLU is the most precious part of my educational journey. Glory be to God! My Doctorate from Walden University will allow me to be a certified instructor in the State of Arizona but nothing can ever take the place of my Doctorate from CLU. I will buy your books for my clients. -  Shaloma Gray

I have an awareness of God I’ve never had before. I received great insight that I’ve never known before. - Betty Bowen

To be honest, when I started the course, I was focused on the excitement of being so close to getting my degrees that I was eager to simply plough into the lessons and just get them done. But God had another plan. The way that the course is written and presented does not allow one to simply study and regurgitate knowledge. From the very outset I found myself forced to focus on the spiritual dynamics of the truths being presented and was immediately confronted by the Holy Spirit telling me, ‘Now I have your attention, you’re not getting away!’ I was going to get what I desired (my degrees), but God was going to get what He wanted first, which was ‘me.’ -  Rev. Robert Butler

Frequently Asked Questions

• What exactly is Revelation-based Learning?​ ​Revelation-based learning occurs when one receives revelation, perception and illumination from the Holy Spirit and acts upon it. Click here for a 90 second video discussing revelation knowledge.

• Can I find out what the courses are like before I decide to enroll? Yes! Because clearly recognizing the voice of God within your own heart is central to your learning at CLU (and to the abundant Christian life!), all students are required to take Communion with God as their first course. You can listen FREEto CLU President, Dr. Mark Virkler, teaching the first session of this dynamic series online by clicking here.​

• Can I purchase these courses one at a time? Not toward the CLU Diploma. Click here for the option of purchasing these DVD modules one at a time with no online testing and not receiving a CLU diploma.  Contact our offices to order: 1 800 466 6961 or info@CLUonline.com.

• Can I do an “add on” purchase of hard copies (or electronic copies) of the books, workbooks, CD’s and DVD’s? Absolutely, simply call our offices and they can give you a discounted price for whatever you would like to purchase. Since you have already purchased either the Electronic Package or the “Hard Copy Package,” we make available the same course materials in the complementary media at 40% off their retail price. We want you to have all the resources in multiple formats so you can soak yourself in them in the car, at your home and with your family. The more you immerse yourself in a message, the more transforming power it has over your life.

• Can I hire a coach to work with me as I go through these training experiences?Yes! A coach is a wonderful gift because they are ahead of you in the area you are seeking to master. You can bounce your questions, experiences, revelations and insights off from them for confirmation and adjustment. For only $50 extra a month (for 16 months), you can receive coaching for a full 24 months from the purchase date of the Express Diploma training package.

• How do I receive my Christian Leadership University Diploma? Once you have successfully completed the training and online tests, you contact our offices requesting the Christian Leadership University Diploma in Applied Spirituality be mailed to you (processing fee - $25).
  
  

• If I want to continue this revelation-based training and earn a degree with CLU, what is the process? The Diploma in Applied Spirituality may be accepted as 30 credits by CLU toward a bachelor’s degree or 10 credits toward a masters or doctoral degree. Students would enroll in CLU and pass a proficiency evaluation which demonstrates they have acquired the skills taught in the diploma courses. There is a $100 processing fee for this service. CLU provides a “get ready” checklist so the student can insure they have brushed up on all items required in this proficiency evaluation. As a CLU student, you can go on and easily finalize a degree, by ordering and completing a Life Experience Portfolio and/or transcripts from other colleges and schools. Often this is enough to complete a degree. If you need additional courses, you can take them directly with CLU.

• Graduate Level Students Can Benefit Greatly Through Our Dual Enrollment Option: Although any student can request dual enrollment and have a CLU instructor assigned to them for any/each life module, this option will be especially valuable to graduate students. Perhaps you already have a bachelor’s or master’s degree, and you would like to earn a higher degree with CLU while experiencing these training modules in a home group or a church-centered Bible school. In this case, you may select to have a dual enrollment with CLU (additional $100 per course). Now, while enjoying the companionship of your group, you are also enrolled in that same class directly with CLU. This means CLU provides you the full CLU course syllabi, which requires you to do extra coursework that you email to their CLU instructor/coach for grading. The benefits of this are: 1) a more intense focus which causes deeper exploration into the course topics. This brings greater internalization and greater life transformation. 2) In addition, your completed course grade is added to your CLU transcript toward a CLU degree, rather than a CLU diploma. By taking all 21 modules as a dual enrolled CLU student, this would result in earning more than the required 40 credits needed to earn either a masters or a doctoral degree from CLU so you will walk away with a masters or doctorate in Ministry, Christian Counseling or Biblical Studies (your choice).

​

Benefits to Churches, Church-centered Bible schools, Schools of Ministry or Home Groups Offering CLU’s Diploma in Applied Spirituality.

The following applies to churches or home groups who choose to sign an “Articulation Agreement” enabling them to offer to a group of people the Diploma in Applied Spirituality through Christian Leadership University - School of the Spirit (as described above).

1.     A Turnkey DVD Training Solution

This provides ease of use. Each student has their own access to downloadable books, MP3s, streaming video and online quizzes, tests and grading.

2.      Prestigious

3.      Degree Finalization Option

As a CLU student, they can go on and easily finalize a degree, by ordering and completing a Life Experience Portfolio and/or transcripts from other colleges and schools. Often this is enough to complete a degree, and if they need additional courses, they can take them directly with CLU.

4.      Reasonable Length of Training Required

Enough time to promote true life change, but not so long as to lose the student. This series of Spirit Life Modules contains 160 teaching segments, broken into 17 courses which can be done one course at a time and completed in approximately 3 years, or 2 courses at a time and completed in two years (with breaks). Class time is estimated at about 3 hours per week, and homework at about 1 hour per week, so students would be committing to only about 4 hours a week in order to complete all 17 courses in 2 years. Since the Spirit Life Modules are so devotional in nature, the student can easily use some or all of their daily devotional time to complete this homework. Four hours a week is a workable amount of time for most growing Christians to invest in their spiritual development. It is not so much as to bog them down, but it is enough to effect real life change. Click here for sample 2 and 4 year schedules.

5.      Inexpensive, making top-notch training available to EVERY church

Church pays a one-time $1050 fee which purchases for them a “Hard Copy” set of the entire Express Diploma curriculum with DVDs, books and workbooks, access to online quizzes and tests, and  the right to broadcast the DVDs in their church or School of Ministry as many times as they want. (An “Articulation Agreement” is signed.) In addition, each student in the class/group pays a reduced rate of ONLY $250 (rather than $1050) for access to their own online Express Diploma curriculum Electronic Pack which includes, eBooks, eLEARN Notebooks, MP3s, streaming video, Quizzes, and Tests, giving them their own personal library of training materials to review over and over and to use to teach from. Churches collect this $250 fee from all students (immediate family members pay only $97 and share all course training materials). Churches forward total monies and the student’s names and contact information to CLU in a batch. The church does need to pay CLU the $250 per student by the first day in which their schools classes begin, and at that point the student will have access to all the online resources. Students take all “closed book” tests online and receive immediate online scoring. This can be done from the students’ homes, and all testing, grading and tracking of grades is done on the CLU website and therefore not a burden to the local church.

6.      Flexible– able to be personalized by each church and individual:

Students will be provided with a discount code allowing them to purchase hard copies of course materials at a 40% discount. The church may want to encourage students to purchase the entire set of all course materials as soon as they are able to afford it as this provides the student a wonderful reference library of training on how to walk in the Spirit, as well as helping commit them to the entire training process of 21 Life Modules. The discounted cost for the hard copy books, LEARN Workbooks and CD’s for all 21 Life Modules is $464 plus shipping.

At graduation time, the Church can notify CLU with a list off all graduates who have completed the work to receive the Diploma in Applied Spirituality from Christian Leadership University - School of the Spirit. CLU will confirm that all online quizzes are completed, then print diplomas and mail them as a batch to the church administrator for the church to distribute to the students in a graduation service. There is a graduation fee of $25 per student.

7.      A Turnkey Solutionfor your MISSIONS outreach training program

If you are working with individuals or churches in developing nations, CLU will waive the fees for them, allowing you to raise up Christian workers and Bible schools in these nations. They may freely access the online Express Diploma program, OR they may have a thumb drive for $77 with all the training materials on it. Their graduation diploma would cost them $11.

Testimonies from Pastors Running This Diploma Program in Their Churches

Rev. Joel Trenkle

Doni took about 14 women through Hearing God’s Voice. The result was so impactful they are asking to continue with other courses.  She led them through Dream Interpretation and although they quickly completed the DVD’s, they are continuing to meet and share their dreams. From all this, a very anointed woman from our congregation has stepped up to take this ministry to women. They are now discussing which of the learning modules to take next.  I really like calling them modules instead of classes; In fact calling them “life modules’ would be more appropriate since they are definitely changing lives with the end result that they are changing the church. I use the word church school since many of the women are from other churches in the area, many of which have no pastor or they do not believe in the gifts of the Spirit. This is an awesome tool for our Lord to use in His Body!  Also, although I initially had many folks who stated they were interested in the College, I have only had one student sign up. Thus, it would seem the Diploma Program is much more effective in opening the minds and hearts of believers in this valley.  It may be due to the “community/group” aspect of the Diploma Program. In any case, one of the prime benefits as I see it is the “Legacy” we leave.  If I die today, the Diploma Program can continue without too much trouble and the Body can continue to grow and be enlightened. 

Pastors need to know these courses can lighten their workload and strengthen their Church. 

Blessings- Joel

Rev. Cathryn Nash
