How CTN Multiplies Training from Leader to Pastor
CTN’s multiplication model equips leaders at every level to train, support, and multiply the next bringing practical pastoral training into local ministry contexts.
Five roles carry the training from national strategy down to a pastor’s weekly small group, each one equipping the next.
