You may have joined this class simply to get your wedding officiant credentials or as a step toward a more advanced ordination with the Christian Leaders Alliance. Whatever your path, have you considered that you are part of a greater movement, a mission rooted in the vision of Acts 2 to make ministry training accessible to anyone, anywhere, without debt or barriers? Christian Leaders exists to equip and empower leaders like you to impact the world for Christ. Your role in this is key.
While our courses are free, maintaining this mission requires resources. We keep training accessible for everyone because we believe no calling should be hindered by financial constraints. We know that not everyone can donate, but we do rely on the generosity of those who can, ensuring this opportunity remains available to all who need it.
If every student contributed just $10 monthly, we could sustain and expand this ministry, equipping even more leaders for service. Would you prayerfully consider a $10 gift—or whatever you feel led to give—to support this movement? Your gift directly reaches and trains future ministers to share God’s love.
