The program empowers local churches to identify and equip potential church planters within their own congregations, creating a sustainable model for church multiplication.

CGN holds to historic, orthodox Christian beliefs. We believe:

• The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21; John 10:35)
• There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
• Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose from the dead, and will return
• Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone
• The church is the body of Christ, called to make disciples of all nations
• Believers are called to live holy lives empowered by the Holy Spirit

We are committed to the Great Commission and the renewal of all things through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
