✝️ Statement of Faith — Christian Leaders Alliance

The Christian Leaders Alliance Statement of Faith, first adopted in 2014, forms the theological foundation for all ordinations offered through the Christian Leaders Alliance (CLA). This shared confession unites Officiants, Ministers, Chaplains, and Ministry Coaches who are called, trained, and commissioned through our study-based, Spirit-led credentialing pathway.

Below is the complete Statement of Faith that guides our global community of Christian leaders and affirms our historic, biblical convictions.
