Western Seminary Partnership

Calvary Global Network (CGN) desires to partner with other ministries that promote a gospel-centered understanding of the Christian life and Christian ministry. Because both ministries share a commitment to gospel-centrality, CGN is excited to partner with Western Seminary to train Christian men and women for a life of gospel-centered ministry.
