Our Approach to Ordination

At Christian Leaders Alliance, we recognize that ministry is diverse, catering to those who wish to serve as volunteers, part-time ministers, or those pursuing full-time vocations. While our training is entirely online, we are distinct from “instant ordination” programs. Instead, we’re a global minister credentialing society, comprising thousands of ordained ministers. Our strength lies in connecting comprehensive ministry courses from the Christian Leaders Institute with local endorsements, culminating in a process that validates your ministry calling.

When you sign up, you gain access to a suite of ministry credentials available at Christian Leaders Alliance. Here, you can discern which credential aligns best with your calling. You are then free to embark on the corresponding courses, all of which are 100% online and entirely free. With the autonomy to dictate your learning pace, you can engage with these courses anytime, from anywhere.

Once you become an officiant, you can order a tangible version of your credential. Prices can range from $62.50 to $300. This fee is a one-off payment. Rest assured, you will not be burdened with the obligation to renew your ordination, nor will you encounter any hidden or recurring fees.

Receiving your credential is only part of the journey. We recommend visiting your local pastor who can then offer prayers and officially sign your credential, thereby locally ordaining you. With this signed document, you not only gain the title of an official minister under the Christian Leaders Alliance but also become eligible to feature in our global minister directory, thereby amplifying your reach and presence
