Serving and Resourcing the Church

Ephesians 4:11-16 (ESV)

The Church Ambassador Network (CAN) is a coalition of church leaders who are committed to redeeming the culture in Ohio through a biblical worldview of dual-citizenship.

Testimonials

  • Ken Harrell, Senior Pastor at Northwest Bible Church in Hilliard, Ohio.

    “As pastors, sometimes we lose sight of the spiritual battle that is raging for the hearts and minds of our neighbors right here in Ohio. In addition to their advocacy at the Statehouse, CCV also prioritizes serving and resourcing pastors through the Church Ambassador Network so they can equip the saints for the work of ministry in this current cultural moment.”

  • Brian Williams, Senior Pastor at Hope City House of Prayer in Columbus, Ohio.

    “Center for Christian Virtue (CCV ) helped amplify my voice and connect me with others in a cross-denominational network. CCV has created a lot of opportunity for the Church to mobilize…

    The biggest encouragement we can take forward is the unity of the Church. We need to continue to build that and I’m looking forward to seeing what God will do.”

Sign up to receive The Times, a monthly email newsletter for Ohio church leaders, as well as invites to special events throughout the year.

 

“Don't look back over your shoulder and pine for the supposed good old days. Don't look forward with a sense of dread. Don't run away and try to remove yourself and your family from a pagan culture.

Remember to lift your eyes to a higher throne, a greater King, and a nobler cause and you will be equipped to serve well in every way you can, and stand firm when you must.”

“We must situate the gospel in relation to the deep longings of the human heart. Our work will be less like winning an argument and more like breaking a spell.”
