The Christian Leaders Alliance (CLA) is a global religious organization and denomination dedicated to credentialing ministers and supporting ministry work worldwide. We provide ministerial credentials through a study-based ministry training approach, utilizing courses offered by the Christian Leaders Institute.

The CLA supports the credentialing of called Christians from various denominational backgrounds, whether they serve as volunteers, part-time ministers, or full-time ministers. Additionally, ministers credentialed by the CLA can maintain affiliations with other religious denominations, enabling dual credentials.

Our network includes thousands of officiants and ministers serving in various roles, such as field ministers, licensed ministers, ordained ministers, chaplains, and coaching ministers.See Minister Directory
