RTCLM Academy: Do I Have to Be a Leader to Enroll?
by Minister Denise N. Fyffe
One of the quiet assumptions many believers carry is that Christian education at a structured level is only for “leaders.” Pastors. Teachers. Ministers. People with titles. As a result, many sincere Christians hesitate to enroll in courses, even when they feel drawn to deeper learning.
The short answer is no—you do not have to be a leader to enroll at RTCLM Academy for Christian Education.
In fact, many learners who benefit most from structured Christian education do not initially see themselves as leaders at all.
Growth Precedes Leadership
Leadership in the Kingdom of God is not something people are born into fully formed. It develops over time through learning, obedience, character formation, and discernment. Scripture consistently shows that God prepares people long before He positions them.
Moses was formed in obscurity. David was trained in the field. The disciples were students before they were sent.
RTCLM Academy is built on this understanding. It exists to support formation, not just function.
Learning Is for Disciples, Not Just Leaders
At its core, Christianity is a faith of discipleship. Jesus did not say, “Go and appoint leaders.” He said, “Go and make disciples.” Learning, therefore, is not optional or exclusive—it is foundational.
RTCLM Academy welcomes:
- Believers seeking clarity in their faith
- Christians desiring deeper biblical understanding
- Individuals navigating spiritual experiences
- Those preparing for future service, whether visible or unseen
You do not need a title to take learning seriously.
Leadership Often Emerges Through Education
Many people discover leadership capacity only after they begin learning intentionally. As understanding increases, confidence grows. As clarity develops, responsibility often follows.
RTCLM Academy does not assume leadership—it cultivates readiness.
Some learners enroll simply to strengthen their Christian walk. Others enroll because they sense God preparing them for something more. Both journeys are valid, and both are supported.
Courses Are Designed for Different Levels of Readiness
Not every course carries the same expectation or intensity. The Academy’s tiered structure allows learners to engage at the level that fits their current season.
101 courses focus on foundations and understanding.
201 courses emphasize application and growth.
301 courses prepare learners for responsibility, leadership, and stewardship.
This design ensures that no one is pressured to perform beyond their maturity, while still allowing room to grow.
You Do Not Have to Know Your Calling to Begin
Many believers delay learning because they feel uncertain about their calling. They fear making the wrong choice or stepping into something prematurely.
RTCLM Academy encourages learning as part of discernment.
Education does not force calling—it clarifies it. Through study, reflection, and guided instruction, learners often gain insight into where God is leading them and how He is shaping them.
Leadership Is Service, Not Status
The Academy does not promote leadership as prestige. It emphasizes responsibility, humility, and accountability. Learning is framed as preparation to serve others well, whether in formal ministry, informal mentoring, prayer support, or personal witness.
Some leaders will teach. Some will intercede. Some will support quietly and faithfully.
All roles require grounding.
An Open Invitation to Learn
If you are a believer who desires to grow, understand Scripture more deeply, and walk responsibly in your faith, you are qualified to enroll.
You do not need to lead others yet. You do not need to have everything figured out. You only need a willingness to learn.
