THE PURPOSE OF CHRIST-CONSCIOUS LEADERSHIP CENTRE (CLC)

We welcome you to C.L.C., an organization and a ministry that exalts Christ Jesus and encourages His disciples to develop Christ consciousness and character for ministry. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Supreme builder of His Church, His body. He builds the Church upon Himself, about Himself and through Himself for the glory of the Father.

However, our Saviour does not build His Church alone; He needs men and women as His co-workers to build it. It seems without humans the Lord will not build His Church. Thus, Jesus Christ appoints people as under-shepherds to participate in His ministry by serving God and humanity.

C.L.C, therefore, regards all ministers of the Gospel as indispensable vessels through whom Christ Jesus builds His Church. However, a minister’s capacity and ability to serve may weaken as a result of several factors including failure to study or learn continuously. It has been observed that most Christians particularly leaders. stop paying attention to serious learning after graduating from seminaries or Bible Colleges. Often, they think that they have acquired enough theological knowledge to offer effective ministry.

Many forget that a call to Christian servant-leadership is a call to continuous learning to receive new revelations of knowledge, insight and understanding to serve God’s purposes. One thing which must be understood is that leaders learn and learners lead. A break in learning is a break in leading.

A desire to help ministers to continue to learn and study, especially the Bible and contemporary issues in ministry inspired the birth of CLC to offer relevant theological sandwich or refresher training programmes to sharpen the ministerial skills of Christian leaders in Ghana and beyond.

Now, there are various subjects a Christian leader may learn in order to lead and prove himself or herself to be a loyal servant-leader. But among all the subjects, the Lord Jesus Christ presents Himself as the most important subject for His ministers to learn in order to develop the good character to lead others successfully (Matt. 11:29).

A partnership or friendship with C.L.C, therefore, is a partnership for education and training to build the capacity of Christian leaders for effective ministry. It is also a relationship to develop Christ-consciousness. Christian leaders and the entire members of the Christian community in Ghana will find CLCS’s activities and programmes very helpful, insightful and rewarding.

On the basis of this, I welcome you to Christ-Conscious Leadership Centre.

Thank you.
