Once ordained, you will be listed in the Christian Leaders Alliance directory as an official Faith Officiant. Historically, individuals in this role were known as lay evangelists.

What is a Soul Center?
A Soul Center within the Christian Leaders Alliance (CLA) is a registered Christian religious society that serves local communities or specific relational circles. These centers are established and led by credentialed ministers of the CLA, who agree to uphold the Christian Leaders Alliance Statement of Faith and adhere to the guidelines outlined in the Soul Center Handbook. The primary purpose of a Soul Center is to function as a manifestation of a Christian church community, providing spiritual guidance, support, and services tailored to the unique needs of the community it serves.
Soul Centers can take various forms, reflecting the gifts, training, and calling of their leaders. They may operate as fellowship groups, ministry practices such as a ministry life coaching, churches, or mentor centers, among other types. Each registered Soul Center is affiliated with the Christian Leaders Alliance, ensuring alignment with its mission and values. This affiliation also provides a framework for accountability and support, fostering a network of interconnected ministries working towards common goals.
The establishment of Soul Centers began in late 2022, aiming to create localized hubs for ministry activities. These centers are instrumental in mobilizing local ministers and facilitating the spread of Christianity at the grassroots level. By registering a Soul Center, credentialed ministers can formalize their ministry efforts, gain recognition within the broader Christian Leaders Alliance network, and access resources that enhance their effectiveness in serving their communities.
In summary, a Soul Center at the Christian Leaders Alliance is a locally registered Christian religious society led by credentialed ministers, dedicated to serving specific communities or relational circles, and operating under the affiliation and guidelines of the CLA.
