Don't waste another year
Most People Get Handed Responsibility Before Anyone Trains Them for It
“I’m making it up as I go.”
“I’ve never been taught how to lead.”
“I don’t have time for school.”
“A degree costs more than I can afford.”
“I’m not ministry material.”
!
You stay reactive instead of responsive when managing problems in your home or business.
!
You can’t seem to break leadership habits that hinder your capability to succeed.
!
The degree keeps sliding. It’s been “next year” for a while, and school didn’t get cheaper in the meantime.

Stories
See what our graduates had to say.
Lisa Sebastian
Christ Alive School graduate
Christ Alive School showed me how to not only recognize my mission field, but how to evangelize the workplace as well. It’s easy to overlook the people you interact with on a regular basis, but God’s heart is for those people to know him.
Alex Harrington
Christ Alive School graduate
As a basketball coach, my athletes need me to know more than plays and drills, they need real leadership. Since being part of Christ Alive School, my leadership has excelled, and I have more confidence in how to bring the best leaders out of those I lead.
Adam McElroy
Christ Alive School graduate
My employees and clients now get a sharper version of me because of the paradigm shifts and hands-on experience I received at Christ Alive School. I no longer second guess my leadership. I know I can lead.
