The Third Year Of The CREST Leadership Program

Once you have completed the two-year Diploma program you are actually 2/3 the way to earning your Masters in Christian Leadership (MCL). 
This third year adds in leadership theory to help you design and apply all your learning into a real-life project. You will come away with a degree and an action plan.

The MCL portion includes: ...several sessions online ...an additional four day intensive learning Encounter ...and a plan for your leadership project, written up in a formal paper.
“The greatest benefit was the style of the presenters, their knowledge, delivery, depth of experience and insights, humor, quality of material presented, and their hearts. I love being away together with other leaders with no competing distractions. Being affirmed in how God has shaped me as a leader has been a gift that was given to me by the CREST experience and by each of my new friends individually.  I think I may be ready to unwrap the gift." ~A CREST Graduate

    We can only take 14 students
    in each MCL cohort.
