As a global religious society or denomination, Christian Leaders Alliance (CLA) is an ecuministry organization that serves credentialed ministers who serve in ministry in our clergy network.
An ecuministry religious organization allows its credentialed ministers to hold dual minister credentials. So, for example, someone can be credentialed with the Christian Leaders Alliance and have standing in another denomination or religious society.
CLA has developed a program for ministers in different ordination roles. All roles are ordained clergy roles, but we reference different statuses to reflect the different training levels and numbers of endorsements.
Thousands of Officiants Commended, Licensed, and Ordained and Coaching ministers now make up the clergy ordination network. See Minister Directory

Reporting Moral Failure in Ministers of the CLA and Soul Centers
Credentialed ministers with the Christian Leaders Alliance must live godly and moderate lives, as reflected in 1 Timothy 3.
1 Timothy 3:7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.
Any verbal, sexual, or physical abuse is unacceptable and not tolerated. Credible or anonymously submitted knowledge of public moral and criminal failure will remove the credentialed minister from this network.
