The Church Connection Initiative at Trinity works with local churches to reinforce their mission and equip their leaders and lay members with the instruction, knowledge and opportunities necessary to enhance their service in God's kingdom.
What is the Church Connection Initiative at Trinity?
The CCIT is a catalyst for collaborative, cross-cultural learning that strengthens local churches by offering resources focused on four areas: preaching, worship, leadership development and service.
Who benefits from the CCIT?
The program seeks to educate church leaders and lay people in ways of cultivating corporate and individual ministry. Trinity faculty, staff and students contribute as partners and co-learners in the program. The CCIT also serves as a resource to help young people discern the call to ministry.
What are some activities that the CCIT uses?
Participants will gather in book clubs, small groups and seminars to encourage interactive learning and support. These settings will allow participants to discuss the four focal points, ask questions and share their ministry experiences.
What other organizations are involved?
The CCIT is a partnership of Trinity Christian College in cooperation with Calvin Theological Seminary, the Center for Excellence in Preaching, and the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship. The venture also is supported by the Lilly Endowment.
