HISTORY OF SLI
Spirit Life Institute of Ministry began classes in September 2004 with approximately 25 students. Since then, Spirit Life Institute continues to grow in both physical numbers and spiritual effectivnes. This semester we will have 5 full time students. We also expect to graduate our first student with a certificate of ministry in June 2009.
Application for certification by the Foursquare National Institute was done in January 2005. Since it's founding, the institute has been administered by Rev. Dr. Larry DeWerd, Ph.D. with assistance from Senior Pastor Tim Genin and the other staff at Chapel Valley Community Church.
Our mission is to develop and train Spirit-filled five fold ministers (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers) and to train Christ's servants who desire to develop their walk with Christ with a Biblical perspective. This mission will be accomplished through academic training as well as practical hands-on experiences for the purpose of building God's Kingdom.
