Education and the CCCC

Theological education is a high priority in the CCCC.  Whether you're searching for a Bible College or Seminary to begin your formal theological studies, or you are already an ordained minister considering alternatives for continuing education, the CCCC offers several options to our members.

Formal Seminary Partnerships
While the CCCC does not have a seminary of its own, we are working hard to build formal partnerships with several seminaries around the United States that are not only theologically like minded, but are also compatible with the diversity of our Conference family, which is made up of so many different traditions and backgrounds.  The following are schools with which we have partnered, providing a multitude of different programs for you to peruse.  Each of these schools also has a regular CCCC presence on campus, and offers the CCCC Congregational Standards course. 

• Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary (http://www.gcts.edu/) - while our partnership includes all GCTS campuses and the online program, our on campus mentoring presence and Congregational Standards course is currently limited to the South Hamilton, Massachusetts location. 

• Westminster Theological Seminary (http://www.wts.edu/) - our partnership with Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadephia, Pennsylvania includes a Congregational track in both their online and on campus programs from a Reformed perspective.

• Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (http://www.teds.edu) - our newest partnership is with Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois and includes several tracks in their on campus program.

IMPACT Distance Eduation Program
For those seeking theological education who do not require a formal degree or simply desire continuning education options, the CCCC IMPACT Distance Education Program provides a very affordable alternative.
