Have you thought about serving as an officiant through the ministry credentialing arm of the Christian Leaders Alliance?  Officiants serve a pivotal role as clergy, leading from churches or embedded in communities for significant life events from weddings to funerals and everything in between.

What Does It Mean? 

The Christian Leaders Institute offers a training path that is not only comprehensive but deeply rooted in Christian tradition and scriptural foundations. Officiants trace their roles to biblical figures like Melchizedek, who blessed Abraham, marking a long tradition of spiritual guidance and community leadership. This role continues today, mirroring the duties of Old Testament priests who led community ceremonies and taught religious principles.

As an officiant, you are more than just a facilitator; you are a vital bridge connecting your community to the timeless teachings of Christianity through life’s significant moments.
