Church Leadership Center

Ministry training for you. A fresh future awaits!

Now is a great time to get out of the church pew (or seat) and into ministry training that makes sense for you! Church Leadership Center provides a high-touch and technology-friendly approach to ministerial education for emerging church leaders.

Train at your pace

We combine Zoom and online learning tools to better align with your busy schedule. We understand the value of your family time, that is why our Zoom sessions are short and the balance of course work can be completed around your schedule.

Study from home

We have made it possible for you to receive training from where you live. CLC participants stay rooted in their local church yet are able to interact and learn from fellow students from around the country.

A personal mentor

We intentionally connect you and your pastor/church leader who will walk with you through the entire CLC training experience. You won’t do this alone!

Financially Possible

Paying for education can get expensive quick! Not with CLC. Due to generous funding and partnerships with local churches you can go through our certified training experience at a fraction of higher education cost!

Seminary Credits

Participants who earn a Certificate of Completion will earn 15 graduate credits to attend an Associate Seminary or 30 credits to complete a Bachelor's degree at a regionally accredited Christian University.

The Christian Leadership Center is a community of lifelong learners who are growing in their abilities to demonstrate integrity of character, biblical knowledge, theological competencies, and quality pastoral and leadership skills for effective ministry. Participants are involved in ministerial vocations, volunteering, lifelong learning, and ministerial experiences that contribute to the preparation of pastoral and lay leaders for certification.
