Commissioned Minister
🎖️ Commissioned Minister Specialization
A Comprehensive Credential for Broad and Faithful Ministry Leadership
The Commissioned Minister Specialization is one of the most in-depth and well-rounded clergy credentials offered by Christian Leaders Alliance. This specialization is designed for those called to serve in multiple ministry roles—preaching, teaching, officiating, discipling, counseling, coaching, and leading—in churches, nonprofits, or community-based ministries.
This program prepares you to be a well-equipped servant-leader, offering a biblically grounded, Spirit-empowered ministry wherever God calls you. It is ideal for those pursuing a lifelong commitment to ministry leadership without pursuing a full academic degree.
