The Church Leadership Institute was originally started to facilitate those who are in the process of or have been credentialed with a Specialized License but do not meet the minimum educational requirements for licensing. It has now grown to include training for both vocational and non-vocational church leaders. We have created 2 tracks in an effort to expand the reach of education.
CLI is now a great resource for growing leaders throughout the region.
