You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden (Matt 5:14)
PROGRAM DETAILS
We designed the practical aspects of Calvary International Training Institute (CITI) to help you grow in your relationship with Christ and to equip you to be an effective leader not only in a North American context, but you’ll be prepared for ministry internationally as well. CITI is a one year program divided into trimesters. In each session, you will focus on a distinct area of study, broken up into two main aspects:
1) Academic, and 2) Practical. With this strategy, we will help to equip you for success in ministry, whatever your gifting and abilities may be.
ABOUT CITI
We are glad you are here! Our heart at Calvary International Training Institute (CITI) is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry and to walk worthy of our calling. We desire to create close and meaningful relationships between CITI leaders and you, to help prepare you for the work of the Kingdom, to strengthen the Body of Christ and fulfill the great commission - making disciples of all nations. The leaders of CITI are dedicated to genuine fellowship, being partners and co-laborers for His Kingdom, to walk with you as we lead people to know, love, and serve Jesus. You were made by God to bring the Kingdom of God in a unique and specific way to others and CITI exists to help you become better equipped to fulfill that calling.
