WHAT DOES LUMEN CHRISTI OFFER?
Within the Lumen Christi Institute, there are five paths that aim to equip and encourage the faithful to take their place within the mission of Christ.
Catholic Biblical Institute
When we study the Bible, we meet Christ in a new, transformative way. The Catholic Biblical Institute provides opportunities for anyone to study scripture and apply the story of Christ in everyday life.
Certifications
Ministry certification equips the baptized to fulfill the call of God on their life in a role of service to the community. Lumen Christi offers certifications in various ministries such as catechesis (for volunteers and Catholic school teachers).
Street Evangelization Training
A series of skill-building workshops to help Catholics navigate faith-sharing conversations. With the encouragement found in the simple steps taught through these workshops, anyone can answer the baptismal call to carry on the mission of Jesus.
School of Evangelization
The School of Evangelization is an initiative dedicated to equipping the faithful with the knowledge, skills, and passion to share the Gospel in their Parish communities. Our comprehensive program offers a dynamic and transformative journey for those eager to deepen their faith and become effective evangelizers.
