Center for Intercultural Training

Organization Description & Goals:

CIT is dedicated to providing pre-field and debrief training for cross-cultural workers in a community-based environment. Facilitated by experienced, servant-minded, cross-cultural trainers, CIT offers an affordable yet intense six-week training program in culture and second language acquisition. Also offered is a one-week debrief retreat to help those returning to their passport country for short-term home assignment or returning definitively. Training is provided for individuals, couples, and entire families including specific teen and children's programs. Beyond traditional intercultural training, CIT focuses heavily on providing the atmosphere and guidance necessary to create the heart of a servant by understanding and applying our riches in Christ which leads to personal renewal and ongoing transformation.

Organizational Principles

Purpose & Mission Statement:

To equip cross-cultural workers with the intercultural and biblical mindset for ministry.

Doctrinal Statement:

We believe …in the Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy; and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct… One God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit… Our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial work, and His Personal return in power and glory… The Salvation of lost and sinful man through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit… The Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ… The Unity of the Spirit of all true believers, the Church, the Body of Christ… The Resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.”
