Are you looking for a minister credentialing program to help you be more effective in ministry? Christian Leaders Alliance grants minister credentials to those called to serve. There are three levels of training and minister credentialing to fit volunteer, part-time, and full-time minister roles. Each role has different course requirements.

After you complete the the requirements, you are welcome to specialize in specific topics depending on your calling. There are currently over 30 specializations.

Minister Credential Program

The Levels of Training and Credentialing at Christian Leaders Alliance

Diakonos Level (core roles) Minister Training and Credentialing Program

Diakonos level minister training and credentialing are for those called to ministry who want to serve their local churches and communities.

The Diakonos level of training and credentialing is inspired by the Greek word, διάκονος {dee-ak’-on-os}, which means deacon, minister, and servant.

The Diakonos program includes six roles:

• Licensed Wedding Officiant
• Field Minister (Commended)
• Licensed Minister
• Coaching Minister
• Licensed Ministry Chaplain
• Ordained Minister

Presbuteros Level Minister Training and Credentialing Program

Presbuteros level minister training and credentialing are for those ministers who are advancing in their experience in ministry and in their training.

The Presbuteros level of training is inspired by the Greek word, πρεσβύτερος {pres-boo’-ter-os}, which means an elder or a maturing one.

Five additional minister roles are available for those seeking more training and minister credentials. These roles are:

• Evangelist
• Professional Coaching Minister
• Pastor/Shepherd/Priest
• Bi-vocational Pastor/Shepherd/Priest
• Ordained Ministry Chaplain

The Presbuteros level of training is ideal for those seeking part-time or full-time ministry positions. This role is suited for planting a church or house church, registering a soul center, and much more.

Episcopos Level Minister Training and Credentialing Program

Episcopos level minister training and credentialing are for those ministers called to multiply Christianity at advancing levels. These minister roles match the bishops of the early church. These early bishops continued the work of the disciples and the first apostles. These bishops spread Christianity with great tenacity. Many died as martyrs.

The Episcopos level is inspired by the Greek word, ἐπίσκοπος {ep-is’-kop-os}, which means episcopate, supervisor, or bishop.

The Episcopos program includes four advanced roles, including:

• Commissioned Minister
• Apostle/Missionary
• Kingdom Chaplain
• Minister of the Word.

Ministers at this level are often serving in full-time minister positions.

Conclusion

If God is calling you to become a volunteer, part-time, or full-time minister, please continue reading and seeking the Lord.

Christian Leaders Alliance will train and credential you in core minister roles that include Diakonos, Presbuteros, and Episcopos roles with over 30 specializations that meet more and more ministry needs.

General and specialized ministry needs exist in every community. As churches identify needs in the community, Christian Leaders Alliance will serve those churches to train and credential ministers to meet the needs and increase the impact of that local church.

Many of these specialized ministers will become movement leaders (bishop types). These movement leaders will recruit new ministers, many of whom come into ministry as volunteers or part-time ministers in a specialization.

Christian Leaders Alliance offers a “Minister Mobilization Process” to help find ways to mobilize more ministers in local communities.
