Course Summary

 This certification is a 10-month process undertaken with a non-geographical cohort, a facilitator, homework assignments and a mentor from your local church. CLP 1’s are lay leaders who are serving their church by leading micro- expressions of church (small groups, youth groups, missional communities, etc.) and who wish to have a deeper level of training in the 10 Core Competencies.

Lee Dixon

Elder

It really gave me an opportunity to dive deeper into the mission field that exists outside the walls of the church, and the people that I relate to and how best to relate to them.

Joy Sturgis

Deacon

I don't think a church can put enough value on a common language, common beliefs, and common understandings for their leadership. So that those people that are training can also live into the lives within whom they have a relationship. 

Brian Stewart

Associate Pastor

Leading a CLP cohort over the past year has been one of the highlights of my ministry for the past 25 years.
