The Fellows Program
The CSLI Fellows Program offers a year of intensive training that leads to significant life-change. Unlike many discipleship programs, the Fellows program focuses on discipleship of both heart and mind.

This year-long program is designed for those who want to live as fully committed disciples of Jesus Christ and make an impact for him in the world.
