Welcome!

The Church Leadership Network is a meeting place for leaders throughout The United Church of Canada to build relationships with each other. It is sponsored and staffed by the General Council Office (the CLN Team) with the hope that this connection will help the work of the General Council staff more faithfully address the needs of the whole church. As such, the network is restricted to those who are currently involved in leadership positions within the United Church, or are in the process of becoming church leaders. If you are not currently in leadership in the United Church, but are interested in learning more about the United Church through conversation, please check out Wonder Café.
