HISTORY OF CLIMB

The CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE OF MINNESOTA AND

BEYOND has had a rich history of growth and development since 1996. We started as a basic Bible Training Center (meeting once a week) at our local church in Stillwater, Minnesota. Since then we have grown to become a NATIONAL and INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE serving world in 10 different languages.

CLIMB is growing at a very rapid pace around the globe. We have

served hundreds in the USA and over a thousand international students. Our curriculum has an emphasis on missions, doctrinal studies, and a Biblical Worldview. Our vision is to continue to expand our domestic campuses, including Spanish speaking ministries throughout the United States.

We provide International curriculum to equip as many nations as

possible with our institute and training module. Prison ministries overseas have become a big part of our outreach. Inmates and staff members are benefitting from our courses, resulting in a significant enhancement of the culture and moral climate at these facilities.

Consider partnering with us so that together we can spread the Word

to the whole world! We can be reached at 715-247-3000 or email us at [email protected]
