Purpose
CTC's vision is to see the gospel of Jesus Christ transform lives and impact cities. As cities grow, CTC's work is more crucial with each passing year. We prayerfully help leaders start and strengthen churches to advance the gospel together in their city.
Everything we do-provide training resources, publish material, coach church planters, teach churches to embed faith and work training into their discipleship rhythms, and encourage leaders to connect and collaborate across denominational lines-all of this and more is done with the desire and prayer that God would move mightily, cities would be deeply impacted, and powerful gospel movements would sweep the globe.
Mission statement
We equip local church planters to build and grow self-sustaining churches that live by the Gospel.
