The CREST Academy Development Services.
Leadership Consulting
Sometimes it’s better if someone else says it.
You know things need to change, and new ideas need to be introduced. You could get up and say it – but it might be better if someone else said it, someone from ‘outside’, with no history. An outside voice adds credibility and facilitates the discussion.
CREST can be that voice for you.
- We customize to exactly what you need for your leadership development
- Design it for your Board, paid staff, or volunteer leaders
- More cost-effective than sending your teams away to seminars
- We can work with you from as short as half a day to a series of Leadership Development Events.
Drawing from decades of leadership experience, the CREST Team brings more than theory.

Dr. Dan Reinhardt
Dr. Dan Reinhardt is the Founder and President of the CREST Leadership Program.
Leadership development has always been a part of his life. As a youngster he watched his missionary parents train leaders in India. After completing a Bachelor in Bible degree in the USA he traveled to Jerusalem where he earned a Masters in the History and Geography of Ancient Israel. He learned and practiced leadership skills leading Hillcrest Church from 270 to 1200 in attendance, with eight associate pastors. He earned a Doctor of Ministry in Leadership from Asbury Seminary. His doctoral thesis became the foundation for launching the CREST Leadership Program.
Dan and his wife, Anne, have four grown children and several grandchildren. He loves working with his hands in his woodworking shop.
Dr. Reinhardt has served on national boards: As a founding Director for Home School Legal Defense Association of Canada which defends the right of parents to educate their own children; and as a Director for The Leadership Centre / Willow Creek Canada, a ministry to equip the church in Canada for leadership.
John Pritchard
John Pritchard graduated from CREST with a Masters of Christian Leadership in 2006, one of the first CREST graduates. He was one of the original members of the CREST Board of Directors, and is now the Lead Facilitator for the CREST Diploma program.
