CSLS Courses are designed to form steward leaders through biblical wisdom, practical application, and a growing understanding of God’s purposes for life and leadership.

The KOR-B Steward Leader Profile provides a research-based framework to help leaders understand their God-given design, strengthen their relationships, and steward their influence well.

The CSLS Blog offers timely insight and reflection to help steward leaders think deeply, live faithfully, and lead wisely in today’s complex world.

The Steward Declaration is built on the biblical teaching that, at creation, God’s gift of relationship was given us to steward faithfully under his guiding hand.

Set Free to Lead

Are you a Christian leader who is being weighed down by stress, anxiety, fear of failure, doubt, discouragement, or despair? It is the enemy’s goal to put you in this bondage. The main reason that Christian leaders are either ineffective, burned out, or failing is due to their lack of freedom.

KOR-B Steward Leader Profile

The KOR-B Steward Leader Profile is an assessment tool created to help every follower of Jesus who holds a leadership position understand where they are on the journey of becoming a faithful steward leader, and to provide them with a road map to continue their journey.

Hear What Others Say

Past cohort participants reflecting on their experience

I know who I am a child of God and he’s the caretaker of my reputation, so that’s deeply ingrained in me now. And I feel like that I am proud and strong in that area of my life. . . You’ll take something, more likely multiple things out of this course that will impact your life. It will change your life and you will view people and relationships in a different way than you ever have before and that is life changing.
[Taking this course] is SO worth it, I just can’t emphasize that enough. I don’t think I’ve spent, other than the time I spent studying for a class that I taught on Hebrews, I don’t think I’ve spent better hours than these last two months.
This shift [from owner to steward] changed everything for me. My relationships deepened, I am more accountable, confident and free to see my organization grow in areas that on my own, I couldn’t make happen. My organization is better as well as all the people involved, from client, staff, board, volunteer and community member.
It’s been great to not only see the effect on myself, but be able to share the message with people around me a see their lives change and I look forward to it further cascade from that…I would say without a doubt it is probably one of the greatest ROI’s that I’ve experienced personally and that there is a commitment that you have to make but it is not overwhelming and completely worth it.
