Four "Pillars" of Service (What We Do!)

Since 2009, CSLI Annapolis has been commissioned to be a partner to the Church in the greater Annapolis community; to make disciples who can articulate, defend, and live the gospel in their public and private lives.  The Aslan House, located at 178 Prince George St. in Annapolis, MD, is located equidistant from the U.S. Naval Academy (Military), Saint John 's College (Education), Maryland State Capitol (Government) and the City Dock (Community).  It became clear through the purchase and location of the property, that CSLI Annapolis was to serve the four pillars of our community:  Military, Education, Government, and the Community at large.

Our invitation to serve this community has come by invitation, and today CSLI Annapolis serves the four "pillars" as follows: 

I. COMMUNITY AT LARGE 

CSLI Annapolis offers the FELLOWS PROGRAM, PASTOR PRAYER LUNCHEONS and SEMINARS to the community of Annapolis.

The FELLOWS PROGRAM is a year-long discipleship program requiring 8-10 hours/week of study helping the students to become better followers of Jesus.  Applications are accepted February 1st through May 15th and the class year runs June to June.

Over 100 pastors participate in our quarterly PASTOR PRAYER LUNCHEONS.  These pastors come together for food, fellowship and prayer, and also meet during the week to pray with one another in small groups.  A dedicated website has been established for this activity - Pastor Prayer Network - and Bret Hicks is the facilitator for this ministry.

SEMINARS are offered throughout the year and feature gifted, scholarly speakers on topics relevant to our culture.  You can find these events on the Calendar of Events on this website and receive notification by being on our monthly newsletter distribution. Send us a note if you do not receive this newsletter today.

II. EDUCATION

CSLI Annapolis offers STUDENT FELLOWSHIPS to the students of Saint John's College.  The men's fellowship meets weekly The Student Fellowships Coordinator is Jonathan Barone.

III. MILITARY

CSLI offers seniors at the U.S. Naval Academy a year-long discipleship program called the COLLEGE ASSOCIATES PROGRAM.  This program is a subset of the Fellows Program requiring about 2-3 hours/week of study and runs from June to May each year.  The coordinators of the College Associates Program are Mark Carter and Colleen Carter.

IV. GOVERNMENT

The newest opportunity for CSLI Annapolis is our STATE & LOCAL GOVERNMENT which is a developing partnership between Capitol Commissions and CSLI.  The goal make gifted Christian scholars available to our State Legislators to help them defend and frame their moral stand on issues of the day in a language the culture will understand.  Al VanHorne is the facilitator for this ministry.
