Ignite Your Leadership Journey with CCNL By Cyndi Marcy

The CCNL Program Transforms Your Leadership

I’m Cyndi Marcy, and I’m thrilled to share an incredible opportunity to transform your leadership journey! By enrolling in the Credentialed Christian Nonprofit Leader (CCNL) program offered by the Christian Leadership Alliance, you will build mission-critical competencies and expand your capacity to lead!

What It Means for You

The CCNL program isn’t just about earning a credential – it’s about equipping yourself with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to lead with excellence and integrity in the nonprofit sector.

Whether leading a small community outreach or a large international organization, this credential program empowers you to navigate challenges and seize opportunities with faith-driven leadership. It is Christian Leadership Alliance’s premier educational pathway.

Celebrating Excellence

At The Outcomes Conference 2024 in Jacksonville, Florida, we celebrated the dedication and achievement of newly credentialed and re-credentialed CCNL holders. It was a time of inspiration and learning as we honored those who embody the principles of CCNL in their daily leadership. (See photo.)

Insights Across the Finish Line

Here’s what some of our CCNL holders have to say:

“The CCNL program, a practical, interactive, hands-on experience, has given me knowledge, a connection to godly leaders and mentors, and insight into growing in Christ and being more effective as a Major Gifts Officer at Joni and Friends. It is why I continue to renew my credential every three years!” 
Lisa Bollier, CCNL, Development Officer, Major Gifts, Joni & Friends

“Embracing the CCNL credential has been a profound journey, enriching my personal and ministry endeavors. This credential equips leaders with invaluable skills, fostering excellence and empowerment in ministry. I am grateful for the transformative impact it continues to have on my leadership journey.”
Kimberly Robinson, CCNL, Director of HR, First Baptist Church of Glenarden

These testimonials reflect the transformative impact of CCNL on leadership effectiveness and organizational success.

The Capstone: Grand Finale

CLA’s CCNL Capstone is the culmination of the Credentialed Christian Nonprofit Leader (CCNL) program, designed to assess and validate the leadership competencies acquired throughout the program. It is a comprehensive final project demonstrating the participant’s understanding and application of critical principles in nonprofit leadership. Each CCNL Capstone project integrates learning from the CCNL program into a practical, real-world application.
