The Fellows Programme

The CSLI Fellows Programme offers a year of intensive training that leads to significant life-change. Unlike many discipleship programs, the Fellows programme focuses on discipleship of both heart and mind. It involves Bible study, classic readings, lectures, group processing, personal spiritual mentoring and accountability — all in the context of a small group of like-minded believers. 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.
