Our Christian Leadership School (CLS) is accredited by the Sunday School Publishing Board (SSPB), a division of the Division of Christian Education Accreditation and Credentials (DCEAC).  The DCEAC provides direction and oversight to the CLS program and a program of study that supports the National Baptist Convention at all levels, locally and nationally.

The Certified Christian Educators (CCE) Program is a structured, four-phase Christian education program designed by the SSPB to increase students' biblical knowledge and understanding of the Baptist faith.  CCE courses are taught at CLS. On March 24, 2017, Sandy Run Missionary Baptist Church was certified by the SSPB as the first CLS and as the only certified Dean in our district and state.  Our first school commenced on May 22, 2017.

In concert with the Pastor’s vision for our church, our CLS provides scholarly, biblical coursework that equips and trains others to become certified leaders for the glory of God. The school’s scriptural mantra is Colossians 3:23-24, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward.  You are serving the Lord Christ.”
