The Contenders Discipleship Initiative (CDI) is a two-year program offered in partnership with Village Missions to equip Christians for ministry within their local church as well as to prepare those who are called for full-time ministry as missionary pastors.
CDI is for everyone! You don't have to be preparing for ministry as a vocation; these 12 week classes are for anyone looking to bolster your knowledge of scripture, history, and sharing your faith with others.
We meet on Mondays and Thursdays here at MCC, from 6:30-8:30pm. A rotation of subject material is held over the two-year period. and include the following courses:
- Bibliology and How to Study the Bible (current session)
- Christian Doctrine and Systematic Theology
- New Testament Survey
- Old Testament Survey
- Church History
- Evangelism, Teaching and Preaching
It's never too late to join. If you are interested in attending the current session or the next, or would like more information, reach out to us at info@machias.org.
