Our school is grounded in experiences with the Holy Spirit and rooted in the unchangeable Word of God.
School Overview
The CFTN School of Ministry is a ten-month, comprehensive, cross-cultural, cross-generational school where students engage with the Holy Spirit, learn together in community, and are activated in the ways of the Kingdom.
Fall and Spring Semesters/Class Schedule
Our classes are designed to lead each student through a journey of transformation throughout the SOM school year. We start in the month of August and end in May. We divide our school year into a Fall and Spring semester. Registration for the School is open at the beginning of each semester.
