For churches
Raise up leaders in your own house.
Host CLC's proven programs at your church. We provide the content, the system, and the path to ordination; you provide the community and the in-person life.
The partnership
The best ministry training happens inside a church.
We built CLC around a conviction: the local church is the best place to train leaders. Not a classroom. Not a platform. Not a degree program abstracted from real ministry: a local body, with real elders, real people, and real stakes.
When you host CLC, your church becomes a training center. Your people go through the same programs (Biblical Literacy, Church Leadership, the path to ordination) with you present, not just watching a screen. The content is ours. The community is yours.
Unlike a traditional seminary, we don't pull your leaders away to a campus. We come to where they already are, already serving, already accountable. That's not a convenience feature: it's the whole model.

Pricing
Transparent pricing, set by CLC.
CLC sets the tuition for every program. You don't negotiate it, collect it, or carry it; that's between CLC and your students. What you provide is the room, the time, and the pastoral presence.
Students who take a program through your church learn in community: a weekly cohort, in-person gatherings, and the Saturday Intensives together. The tuition is the same as taking it online; what your church adds is the room, the people, and the pastoral presence. It costs you nothing to offer.
We talk through the specifics when you contact us. There are no fees to become a host location.
Getting started
It starts with a conversation.
There is no online form to fill out. No automated onboarding sequence. When a church wants to host CLC, we talk, pastor to pastor, about your context, your people, and whether this is the right fit.
If it is, we work out the schedule, get your location on the site, and set your students up with accounts. From there, you're a hosting location: your people can enroll, begin the programs, and pursue ordination right where they already serve.
The best time to reach out is before your church is ready, so we can plan together rather than rush.
