Center for Renewal and Advancement (CRA) provides consulting and training services to churches throughout the USA, New Zealand, Australia, and Nigeria. We exist primarily to promote the spiritual health and vitality of the Body of Christ by assisting local congregations to recognize, embrace and restore the kind of Biblical literacy that all believers need to live godly, fruitful lives as revealed in the Scriptures. We are not seeking to do “seminary” in local churches, but to help facilitate theological reflection through coaching for church workers and lay leaders and to encourage, strengthen, support and equip church leaders through seminars, workshops, fellowships, support groups and church consultations

The CRA solution is uniquely tailored to you and your ministry context. Rather than removing you from your ministry environment for a short and intense period of information transfer, we come along side, for months and years, so that you don’t just learn new concepts, but apply them to the realities of your unique ministry setting. Our coaches and consultants provide just-in-time support, feedback, challenge, and encouragement based on our experience, competence, and commitment.
