Who
we are
The Center for Church Multiplication reflects Asbury Theological Seminary’s commitment to prepare church leaders to serve in multicultural and global contexts. Working collaboratively with the Seminary’s schools and faculty, the Center recruits, supports, trains, and connects Spirit-filled church planters who establish healthy, multiplying, and sustainable churches in every context on earth. The Center also engages global conversations on church multiplication to share ideas and learn from others with a posture of humility, curiosity, and grace.
I sure could have used CCM in the 1990's when I planted my first church. This is an awesome program.

It's rare to find a space that leads with the kind of prayer, encouragement, and compassion that you all do. Thanks for investing in me and believing in me over the past three years.
