The
Christian Leadership Center is an interdisciplinary organization
of Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan, providing inspiration,
on-going leadership development, coaching, consultation, and research,
for a network of church and community leadership throughout the
world from Andrews University.
Our vision is people transformed and empowered by Christian principles
who form a network of Christian leaders and provide outstanding
leadership for the local church, church and educational organizations
throughout the world, as well as local community or business organizations.
The Center provides these leaders with ongoing leadership development
based on the servant leadership model of Christ.
We seek transformation of persons in the context of leadership development
and see the development of leaders on three distinct levels, the
first being transformation of the person, the second being development
of essential leadership patterns, and the third being formation
of administrative skills.
We provide a place for academicians and field practitioners to link
in a process of theological reflection that shapes the Seventh-day
Adventist church’s understandings of leadership and clarifies
transformational leadership development across cultures. The biblically
based model of servant leadership promoted by the Christian Leadership
Center grows from that reflection.
CLC is involved in ongoing leadership development relationships
with; a) specific church entities willing to make commitments to
accountability over a period of years involving conferences, accountability
groups, interaction with literature, and small groups, b) enduring
coaching or mentoring relationships with individuals, and c) like
service to other organizations seeking to apply the principles of
Christ to their mission.
Our mission is to accompany and develop people in their journey
as servant leaders in the church and as Christian market-place ambassadors
in a changing world.
