Distinctives of the CLA Christian Nonprofit Leadership Academy

Steward-Leader Focused
CLA believes passionately in God's call for each of us to serve as steward-leaders who recognize God as the owner of our resources, talents, gifts and lives. Each course in this Christian Nonprofit Leadership Academy emphasizes our unique role as steward leaders.

As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grade of God.
1 Peter 4:10

Biblically Based
Biblically-based education is the cornerstone of the Christian Nonprofit Leadership Academy, and the Credentialed Christian Nonprofit Leader (CCNL) program for Christian ministry professionals.

Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16, 17

Transformational
The Christian Nonprofit Leadership Academy is designed to both be transformational for the students who attend, and to help them to fulfill their commitment to transform the lives of those whom they serve, and those who support their ministry.

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing, and perfect will.
Romans 12:2

Relational
The Christian Nonprofit Leadership Academy provides a unique opportunity to connect and collaborate with other Christian nonprofit ministry leaders. This provides support, spiritual encouragement and accountability for today's Christian leader.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:7
