What is the Church Intensive Training?

Our Church Intensive training is what we have been teaching since the founding of CI in 2017, with various things we’ve learned along the way spiced in. It serves a few purposes:

  1. A paradigm shift. During this training we take a fresh look at the Scriptures to better answer this question: “What does God want of His church and how do we live/lead in light of it?” We also discuss many of the lessons learned within We Are Church’s methods.

  2. Access to resources afterwards. After the training, alumni are invited into various forms of ongoing resources for the purpose of continued inspiration and training in pursuing this vision for the church.

  3. An entry point into deeper relationships. For those who feel led to pursue this vision for the church, we believe it is so important to be connected with others for mutual learning and encouragement. We have created the CI Fellowship for the purpose of ongoing training, encouragement, fellowship, etc. All CI Alumni are invited into the CI Fellowship.

What if I just want to check it out?

For those who are wanting to simply "check things out," we encourage you to engage with our free materials online, as the CI Trainings are for those who are desiring to take this training and put it into practice within a local church context. Our hope is that our free content on Youtube and Facebook will help those who don’t qualify for our CI Trainings.

It is important to note also what the Intensive training does not do.

  • It does not join you into the We Are Church network.

  • It does not provide covering or spiritual oversight, which we believe is the responsibility of the local church.

  • It does not condone division in the local church. We do not want any of these resources to be used to create any division.

After participating in the Church Intensive training, alumni are invited to continue in relationship with us through our Church Intensive Fellowship. Click here to read more about the Fellowship:
