The Certificate of Community Transformation is a community of practice designed to train participants in the biblical foundations of community organizing and the basic skills of listening to a community. Participants join each other virtually in a two Saturday intensive followed by monthly meetings and individual coaching. They practice those skills in their own neighborhood and communally reflect as they complete listening projects. For more information, view the CTC Fact Sheet and CTC Program Arc.
