The CLP Gold is one of the distinct programs offered by the Central Leadership Program under the auspices of the International Central Gospel Church, alongside CLP Crystal and CLP Platinum.
• It offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to explore leadership from multiple angles, such as Deepening Faith, Our World, Building Competencies, Understanding Self, Book Reviews, Understanding Leadership, and Leading Change.
• CLP’s overall mission is to develop Christian leaders who will live for Christ within their sphere of influence and transform society through exceptional Christ-centered leadership.
The Central Leadership Program (CLP) is generally aimed at young tertiary Christian leaders between the ages of 18 to 25 who have the capacity to become leaders in their chosen fields.
The Central Leadership Program Gold is a highly subsidized program. However, fellows are required to pay a commitment fee, which will be specified at the beginning of each cohort.
The application process for the Central Leadership Program is multifaceted and rigorous. Typically, it involves the following:
1. A filled application form.
2. A personal statement
3. A leadership statement
4. An essay on a unique task or essay
5. A recommendation from a referee
6. An interview for applicants who successfully make it past the essay writing stage.
The CLP Gold program is structured to include both online and in-person (camp) experiences. The program typically has the following components. (This is not exhaustive)
• Orientation
• Online Pre-Camp Assignments
• Online Faculty Engagements
• 10 – 12 Book Reviews
• Voice Note Discussions
• Blogging

CLP is a year-long program with an average commitment time of 1.5 hr. daily to CLP activities and assignments.
Upon graduating from the Central Leadership Program, participants become part of the program’s Alumni community called ‘Beacons of Excellence’. The ultimate goal is for graduates to become Christ-centered leaders poised to make an impact across Ghana, Africa, and beyond. However, the program maintains a continued connection to alumni by engaging them to be volunteers for various online aspects of the program and in-person events. We also provide opportunities for them.
