The Christian Growth category of the Christian Growth Study Plan is designed to assist you in your personal life journey with Jesus Christ. You can create your own plans to meet your own needs and pursue your personal interests.

If you are a church leader, you can use the Christian Growth category as a curriculum map in planning relevant study offerings for your church family.

All of the Christian Growth courses are resources. They are arranged in 13 subject areas. The following four ways can be used to customize your plans in the Christian Growth category. When you request course credit, you are electronically enrolled in the appropriate plans.

1. Subject Area Plans - Select one subject area then complete five courses listed under that subject area. When credit is requested for the fifth course, you will automatically receive the Christian Growth Study Plan certificate. It will contain your name, the title of the subject area, and the category Christian Growth. You may use this approach as often as desired.

   Note that not all subject areas have five courses at this time. These are in development for future use.

2. Spiritual Enrichment Plans - Select five courses from different subject areas. Upon completion of the fifth course, you will automatically receive the Christian Growth Study Plan certificate. It will contain your name, the title Spiritual Enrichment, and the category Christian Growth.

   This approach is excellent for customizing plans to meet your needs and interests. You can use this approach as often as desired.

3. One-Course Plans - Many of the Christian Growth courses earn certificates by themselves. These resources take 10 or more hours to study and complete. On the following pages, these course/resources are identified by the symbol "+."

   When you request course credit, you will automatically receive the Christian Growth Study Plan certificate containing your name, the title of the course/resource, and the category Christian Growth.

   This approach provides in depth studies for individuals and groups. Group study is not required. These plans include the LIFE courses and the Lay Bible Academy courses.

4. Ministry-Developed Plans - The people who developed the plans discovered the need to suggest Christian Growth category plans for specific audiences. These plans are listed by title. Credit for each of these courses will be automatically applied toward the Ministry-Developed plan, the Subject Area plan, and the Spiritual Enrichment.

   When the fifth course is completed, the Christian Growth Study Plan is issued containing your name, the plan title, and the category Christian Growth. The Christian Growth Study Plan electronically relates the five courses to the specific plan.
