1. Equipping and Resourcing

CCN equips ministry leaders in teaching the Word of God and implementing the Spiritual Gifts in their congregations through coaching and resources.

Coaching and instruction from Sam Storms and other CCN leaders with regard to the practical implementation of Word and Spirit in the life of the local church.
The opportunity to attend in-person gatherings for instruction and hands-on training in the exercise of all spiritual gifts.
Access to theologically informed and biblically rooted newsletters and literature produced by the leadership of the network as well as by other member churches.
Exclusive access to online instructional videos and E-courses from Sam Storms and other leaders of the Network.
Although our primary focus is on the fruitful implementation of Word and Spirit in local church life, when possible, we will address broader theological and biblical controversies and questions when they emerge.
Opportunities for continued growth and development in the implementation of Word and Spirit even for the most advanced churches

2. Connection and Fellowship

CCN builds a bridge for like-minded church leaders to connect with one another for prayer, mutual encouragement and fellowship.

Online Community Groups for fellowship, mutual encouragement, and prayer support by and for member churches. We envision member pastors and churches to connect deeply not only in theology but in relationships in such a way that all may speak into the lives of others.
Communication and collaberation between member churches via regularly scheduled online Cohort meetings and in-person gatherings to help facilitate Word and Spirit in each local church. CCN exists, in part, to help foster the sort of camaraderie among Christians that brings light and life to each. Collaboration and consistent, regular communication among member churches is essential if a church wishes to avoid the sterility of isolationism.
When controversies or crises emerge for which you need intercessory prayer support, we would communicate this to member churches (with your express permission) so that they can pray for you and provide whatever counsel they might have from having faced similar circumstances in their churches.
Opportunities to contribute to the growth and equipping of other member churches as experiences and wisdom is shared with one another.
Assistance with filling ministry job openings in your church as needs arise. CCN will post job listings on the website to help attract qualified applicants looking for career opportunities in a Word and Spirit church.
