Christian Community Training (CCT)


An activity of Nazarene Theological College


PROGRAM OUTLINE


Christian Community Training is an initiative of NTC, Brisbane that provides seminars designed to help Christians discover, reflect upon and apply the lessons to be learned from the life and ministry of God’s people. CCT classes are designed to be offered in local churches and community centres, though some are held at the college campus in Thornlands. Units available can be based on the regular classes taught at the college or specifically arranged and tailored to meet the needs of your local church community. All classes are taught by the college faculty.
