Important note

What the Intensive does not do.

  • 01It does not join you into the We Are Church network.
  • 02It does not provide covering or spiritual oversight. That is the responsibility of the local church.
  • 03It does not condone division. None of these resources should be used to create division in a local church.

If you simply want to check things out, engage with our free materials online. The CI Trainings are for those who want to put this into practice within a local church context.
