CTS has her own character, and offers a solid program of studies, a stout platform of Bible, theology, history, apologetics, and missions on which to build her ministry. We offer students, ministers, and worship leaders first-class education and continuing education in preaching and worship in a welcoming atmosphere with a manageable workload where learning is inside a cradle of grace. We share a Reformed vision of an interconnected Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Consummation, with Jesus Christ at the center, and the people of God as the witnesses, agents, and models of God's purpose to make all things new. These characteristics give CTS a mission in the world to lend her particular passions and strengths so that the Spirit may inspire all to declare God's purpose in the world and to make it their own. 19 19 172 0 0 0 6998447 5611382 2817113 2966102 597576 1245626 17112 16088 10430248 9839198 1725438 1754325 0 0 4786753 5440139 0 19671 721742 3030689 3363573 9542880 10577708 887368 -738510 51094682 49497053 3510394 4262444 47584288 45234609 X Our mission is to prepare people for visionary leadership in ministry, to give them what they need to respond to the Holy Spirit's call throughout their lives, to bring nations to Christ, build His church, and extend God's Kingdom.

F990_P03_S00_L02 Form 990, Part III, Line 2 The vision of Institute for Global Church Planting and Renewal (IGCPR) is to foster the growth of confessionally Reformed churches both numerically and spiritually across the globe through an effective Second Timothy Chapter Two verse Two apprenticeship program. "You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others". The focus is to train men and women to start new churches and to work to renew those churches that are struggling. Many new churches are likely to be multi-cultural, especially in large urban centers, and will be planted in North America and worldwide. This presents a significant shift for CTS, as Seminaries don't typically produce church planters. Our curriculum is more missional, reshaping theological education while maintaining CTS's strong emphasis on teaching Reformed doctrine, worship and Biblical scholarship. Part of the program works to forge relationships with a range of educational institutions as well as placing a greater emphasis on long-distance-on-line learning. One aspect of the IGCPR is to take students to where successful church planters are at work and to learn from them in the community in which they work. CTS wants to develop and nurture through training the expectation among churches that it is a part of their church's mission to evangelize the community around them and to start new churches. The idea is to tap into the hunger that so many people have for a relationship with God, but need help in developing and maintaining that relationship. We teach the basic principles of planting churches for the next generation.
