CCDA Institute

In November of 2004, I became the director of the CCDA Institute. Our mission is to equip our members in the ministry philosophy of Christian Community Development.

If you do not know about CCDA, it was founded 16 years ago by Dr. John Perkins and a group of pastors and community developers from around the country. The goal of CCDA is to provide training and networking opportunities for faith-based groups through our annual conference (to be held in Indianapolis, IN this year) and now, through the Institute, that will take our core philosophy into cities across the nation. We will offer 2 classes per session, with our next Institutes happening in Philadelphia, April 20-22, and at Azusa Pacific in Southern California, May 18-20.
