Equipping the global Church’s leaders
A nonprofit training strategic pastoral leaders in godly character, transformative shepherding, and intentional discipleship.
Answering the challenges facing the Church today
CTN exists to address limited access to spiritual resources, a lack of depth in theological training and education, and the resulting spread of false teaching and practices.
We train strategic pastoral leaders through a practical, self-directed, and collaborative learning approach that promotes godly character, transformative shepherding, and intentional discipleship.
Our core values recognize the Church as God’s plan to reach the world. They include evangelical theological orthodoxy, holistic transformation, pastoral leadership and authority rooted in Christ-like character, and church health.
