OUR VISION

Every Christian leader is thriving.

Leaders thrive as they steward their lives for Christ-honoring excellence, influence, and impact!

•  We witness Christ-honoring excellence as leaders grow personally while seeking outcomes that bring honor and glory to God.
•  We experience Christ-honoring influence as leaders apply a biblical worldview to transform how others think and lead.
• We celebrate Christ-honoring impact as leaders allow God to work through them to achieve his kingdom purposes in our world.

Christian Leadership Alliance is a community of leaders who invest deeply and selflessly in one another. We affirm the unique, God-given design of all leaders and long for every Christian leader to thrive for God's glory in all situations and circumstances.

OUR MISSION

We exist to equip and unite leaders to transform the world for Christ.

The Alliance is a community of Christian nonprofit professionals called to join God's transformational work worldwide. We serve in Christian ministries, churches, educational institutions, and as nonprofit service providers.

We come together to become together through practical, biblically based thought leadership, creating life-changing connections and kingdom-minded collaboration spaces.

Equip

The Alliance creates spaces and places for nonprofit professionals across all levels and organisations to trade with thought leaders, experts, and seasoned practitioners. The entire community stands ready and willing to invest in each other. We curate resources and experiences that build mission-critical competencies and expand leadership capacity.

As a community, we contribute practical knowledge and focus on the eternal outcome. We wrestle with the day's issues while considering tomorrow's opportunities. We strengthen spiritual foundations with inspiration and application so that when God says go, we go fast.

Unite

 We are a closely knit community of kindred spirits connected and united by our calling. We're compelled by Christ's example and convicted by our imperfections, yet confident in his grace.

We strive together to become faithful agents of transformation. We desire to become faithful stewards of God's promises to our fellow man. Whenever we gather, we expect to grow, be challenged, and be sharpened for God's purpose and glory.
