INSTITUTE FOR CHRISTIAN MATURITY

EQUIPPING SOLDIERS FOR GOD'S ARMY

The foundation for Christian maturity is the study of God’s Word. Christian maturity is incumbent upon an ever increasing and deepening relationship with the Word. The Word is the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Institute for Christian Maturity is committed to helping men and women of all ages grow in faith and knowledge for the purpose of maturing into strong soldiers in God’s Army. We believe that the character of a good soldier can be understood through the study and understanding of the Epistle to the Ephesians and the application of its instruction.

We are providing an in-depth study, FREE of charge, for your personal growth and maturity as a soldier in God’s Army. Every army has a purpose. We believe that Dr. John Binkley’s book, Character is King, will help you understand that purpose.
