We Equip Local Leaders In Changing Their World!

 

The City Changers Movement (CCM) has over thirty years of experience in equipping and mobilising Church and societal leaders so that they can make FAITH (spiritual renewal), LOVE (social renewal) and HOPE (cultural renewal) visible to their cities and communities.

 

With teams in the USA, Europe, South Africa and in the UK, CCM’s approach involves: 

  • CONNECTING – Facilitating the networking of church leaders as well as other stakeholders in the community who have a common vision for city transformation.

 

  • CONVENING – Running annual events and dialogue forums.

 

  • CAPACITATING – Delivering training courses and facilitating learning communities for leaders in the church, market place and VCS organisations.

 

  • COLLABORATING – Helping to build Collaborative Ecosystems that create city transforming projects.

How would your attitude to work change if you saw it as an act of worship which has the potential to bring about Kingdom Transformation? 

LIFEWORK Journey is an eleven part programme designed to empower leaders in the market place towards a bigger vision of work. Built around the life of Jesus, the course uses teaching videos as well as real life case studies to facilitate group discussions and build a framework for implementation in your context.

Key aims:

  • Clarify your Calling
  • Captivate your heart for the city
  • Connecting to a like-minded community of City Changers

Church Leaders Learning Communities

Do you desire to see your church become an agent for Kingdom transformation in your city?

This nine part Learning Community is designed by leaders with extensive experience in repositioning churches for effective engagement with their cities. Teaching videos and questionnaires are used to both facilitate discussions as well as provide practical tools to help lead a church towards a Kingdom outlook for their city.

Key aims:

  • Develop a theological understanding for city engagement
  • Strategic insight for developing missional individuals, communities and ecosystems
  • Developing servant leadership as a church culture

Leading with Love Workshop

If the calling of the church is to make god visible in our communities how do we put words into action?
This nine part pilot workshop has been put together by experienced leaders who have seen real community impact locally and nationally by asking different questions. Moving from praying ‘your will be done’ to actually articulating how it can look when God moves into our neighbourhoods through His church.
Through sharing stories, inspiring conversations and practical tools you will develop a new viewpoint on the calling you carry and the steps you can take.
If you are church asking how you can step into your community, an individual with a passion or idea or an existing initiative looking to audit your effectiveness this is for you. It will grow the confidence to be the church in your community through which you will see God speak and act and fill everything with his presence.
aims:
  • Practical tools to take the first steps and build a delivery plan
  • Measuring impact and change that demonstrates God’s power to transform
  • Moving from social action thinking to the power of the gospel in operation
