Soul Centers are registered places of ministry with local religious societies (different local size churches) for credentialed Christian Leaders Alliance (denomination) ministers.
As a global religious society or denomination, Christian Leaders Alliance is an ecuministry organization serving Alliance members in ministry. An ecuministry religious organization allows its credentialed ministers to hold dual minister credentials. For example, someone can be ordained or licensed with the Christian Leaders Alliance and register a soul center while having credentials in another denomination or religious society.
Thousands of Commended, Licensed, and Ordained ministers now comprise the ordination network. See Minister Directory
To register a Soul Center, the registering minister must be in the Minister Directory of the Christian Leaders Alliance.
Who is the Christian Leaders Alliance?
The Christian Leaders Alliance is the ministerial and clergy credentialing body within the Christian Leaders Institute, organized as a 501(c)(3) religious nonprofit corporation.
The Christian Leaders Institute vests this Christian religious society with the authority to conduct a worldwide program of creating religious societies called soul centers and credential clergy, including officiants and ministers. Credential ministers do not need to create or belong to a soul center; they can be credentialed through the Christian Leaders Alliance and remain in their local religious society affiliations, such as a church or a denomination.
Christian Leaders Institute is headquartered in Largo, Florida, and Spring Lake, Michigan.

The Clergy Credentialing Methodology to Register a Soul Center

After this process, they are granted minister/clergy status. - Posted on the Global Ordination Directory

Credentialed ministers and registered Soul Center leaders are expected to live godly and moderate lives, as reflected in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1.
