Start CLD classes in your native tongue

How to begin:

1. Apply
2. Mobilize
3. Construct
4. Reach

1. Apply to be Administrator of your ethnic CLD program. Please send a written inquiry to info@milpitascld.org. When approved by the MCC, you will work with MCC directors to implement a CLD program in your native tongue. As CLD Administrator, you will have access to the MCC and its amenities. You also receive nearly full financial autonomy with financial obligation only for facility usage.

2. Mobilize potential faculty for your CLD program in your native tongue. Faculty must have sufficient ministerial experience. This does not necessarily imply that all must have a Seminary degree or be ordained. However, degrees and ordainment must be then, compensated with appropriate and sufficient ministerial experience. Faculty list must be approved by the MCC. (http://cld.ggbts.edu/CLD_Manual.pdf page 18 -26).

3. Construct the semester’s syllabi. Work with faculty to construct the syllabi in-line with GGBTS diploma scheme. Also help construct other documents needed for a successful school year (i.e., class lists, grade sheets, textbook list, etc.). The MCC will be available to help guide and assist in these matters. All required documents must be approved by the MCC directors prior to your CLD semester begins.

4. Reach hungry Christians in your local ethnic communities. The MCC will provide the location and provide administrative support; however, it will be your job to locate hungry Christians in your community. The MCC website will be available for promotional and marketing usage. Also, the MCC brochure will be available for ethnic CLD programs to translate into their native tongue (PDF: Korean | English)
