The CLC Way

The Church Leadership Center (CLC) collaborates with congregations, pastors, individuals, and regional assemblies to train leaders who will:

Clearly and winsomely tell others the good news of Jesus.

Lead congregations in Christian discipleship.

Plant new churches actively engaged in evangelism.

Mentor future leaders in the Church’s Body Life.

See Learning Series
CLC Learning Series can be taken in any order, but we recommend starting with biblical studies, followed by church history, and then theology. This sequence builds a strong foundation, with practical series like pastoral care and preaching building on these core insights.

Old Testament

In order to understand how God’s redemptive work began with Israel

New Testament

In order to understand how Jesus brings the fullness of salvation

Church History

In order to understand how the church took this message into the world

Church Structures

In order to understand The doctrinal standards of the Reformed Confessions

Theology

in order to deepen understanding of God and God’s work in creation and God’s work in salvation
