Are you licensed or ordained?
If not, this program is a possible first step in a credentialed clergy minister program at Christian Leaders Alliance.
The Commended Minister Program is part of the credentialing programs of the Christian Leaders Alliance, including Clergy Minister programs. Christian Leaders Alliance has three Minister Credential Programs.
- Commended Minister Program
- Licensed Clergy Minister Program
- Ordained Clergy Minister Program
The Commended Minister Program is for:
- Christian leaders who have an active walk with God.
- Christian leaders who sense the calling to minister in their local church or community.
- Christian leaders who desire to get training in a specialized area of ministry.
- Christian leaders who are being recommended by someone who has noticed their Christian walk and affirms their readiness for ministry.
- Christian leaders who are exploring entering even deeper into ministry training, perhaps desiring to further licensing or ordination clergy roles in the future.
What are the benefits of the commended minister program?
- You are acting on your calling and getting formal ministry training in a specific area(s).
- You will experience the power of being recommended by others who see you are called for ministry.
- You are encouraged to be locally commissioned as a Commended Minister with the Christian Leaders Alliance.
- You will be included in the Christian Leaders Alliance directory.
What will you be permitted to do in ministry?
The Commended Minister program permits you to give supportive ministry in the areas you have completed your training. For example, if you have completed the Commended Prayer Minister role, you can be commissioned at your church to be one of the Prayer Ministers.
The commended prayer minister is required to complete:
- Connections Ministry Basics (3 Credits)
-Prayer (3 Credits)
-Commended Minister Recognition Class (0 credits)
Total 6 credits
There are many roles to choose from as you discern your ministry calling.
Enrollment Steps:
1. Enroll in the Getting Started registration class that will take you 15 minutes to complete.
2. Complete the tuition-free study program in your specific area of calling or interest.
3. Complete the Commended Minister Credential class, where you are required to submit one recommendation.
4. Order your Commended Minister credentials if you desire them.
The Commended Minister program is an opportunity to be a minister without being licensed or ordained clergy at this point. Our goal is to mobilize an army of Christian leaders trained, commended, and commissioned to do confident ministry everywhere!
