Our Purpose

The purpose of CREST is to empower leaders to flourish
in the second half of their life.
The stat is that typically only 1 in 4 will flourish in their second half.
We help you beat that statistic.

Our Mission
  • Engage leaders in their mid-years with a guided reflection over their life and leadership.
  • Provide resources specifically for leaders
    in the mid-years.
  • Provide the opportunity to earn credentials
    along the way.
We focus on leaders
in the midlife years …

Because there is a deep shift that is needed to flourish well
in the second half of life.
People need help to know what that shift is, and how to do it.

We’ve been doing this for twenty years with leaders
from practically all walks of life.

  • Pastors, business leaders, not-for-profit leaders, entrepreneurs
  • Men, women, and married couples
  • Anyone who wants their second half to matter
Our goal for Christian leaders
  • Point a way into the rich and satisfying life Jesus promised.
    (John 10.10)
  • Help you discover and develop the unique life-message
    God has put within you. (1 Timothy 4.14)
  • Encourage you to give your complete attention to these matters,
    so that people notice your progress. (1 Timothy 4.15)
  • Equip you to keep a close watch on how you live and what you teach, for your own benefit and the benefit of others around you.
    (1 Timothy 4.16)
  • So that you hear Jesus say, “Well done, good and faithful servant! Come and share your master’s happiness! (Matthew 25.23)
We offer a guided, in-depth reflection over your life and leadership:
Insight about your past
Clarity about your present
Vision for your future

You can also earn a credential:

We offer a credential track that is open to people who may not have done the traditional academic route,
and yet desire to earn a degree. We have hundreds of alumni who have benefited from these credentials.

Flourishing is not automatic.

It requires a specific set of conditions, displayed in our CREST acronym
and experienced in our programs.

The right content, in the right environment, with the right people, under God’s guidance, creates the conditions for flourishing:

  • Community and collaboration – flourishing is not a solo journey
  • Respectful relationships – people must feel safe and valued
  • Experiential learning – not just theory, but learning by practice
  • Spiritual formation – not just knowing about God, but experiencing him
  • Time – it’s not a quick fix; it’s a journey and process that takes a while
