The Center for Christian Formation and Leadership (CCFL) in the Diocese of Southeast Florida is a learning center for adults seeking continuing education in theological studies, as well as spiritual and pastoral formation in the theory and practice of church leadership. The CCFL provides opportunities for both practical training and theological reflection, to serve as effectively as possible the local needs of the Episcopal Church in Southeast Florida, including the needs of congregations, schools, and special ministries. By enriching our understanding of the ministry of all the baptized, graduates of CCFL programs take active roles in our congregations and in the world to make the transforming love of Jesus Christ come alive in our time and make it known to all people, everywhere.
The CCFL emphasizes academic rigor, Episcopal identity in conversation with the rich history of the Anglican tradition, and a deep commitment to pastoral ministry and service. The CCFL supports anti-racist pedagogies, multi-cultural approaches to learning, and opportunities for acknowledging and exploring the diverse languages, ethnicities, cultures and traditions that enrich our experience as Episcopalians in this diocese.
