The Center for Global Action exists to mobilize a generation to be passionate followers of Jesus who live out their faith whether at home, professionally, or church planting overseas.
CGA apprentices are encouraged to get-part time jobs. These jobs function as opportunities to minister to our local community, practically living a missional life wherever we go. Apprentices bring the truths they learn in the class into their workplace.
Get College Credit While Gaining Leadership Tools
Through our partnership with College of Athens (CoA), a 4 year accredited Christian college, you can now receive up to 12 college credits for a semester of CGA. You can choose to apply these credits to a wide variety of leadership and ministry degrees at CoA, or transfer these credits to another university.
During CGA, you have the opportunity to get credit through these 4 classes:
The Great Commission: Discipleship
Effective Prayer Ministry Tools: Ultimate Journey
The Dynamics of Leadership
Effective Leadership Communication
CoA offers a 50% discount to all students who are completing a program under Adventures in Missions. This means that the cost per credit hour is $150. You can choose to opt in for any or all of the four classes listed above, meaning that if you complete a full course load the total cost will be $1800 for a semester.
CoA offers a variety of ways to help students financially so that they can acquire these credits affordably and graduate debt-free.

Our curriculum is based on “know yourself, lead yourself, lead others”. We develop character and the ability to lead others emotionally and spiritually while understanding your true identity in Christ. We believe in hands on training, activation, and experiential learning.
We believe in gaining perspectives that challenge and develop your personal and spiritual growth. You will walk through intentional friendship and challenge with an accountability partner.
Our desire is for you to deepen your relationship with the Lord by cultivating His presence through prayer, spiritual disciplines, and new revelations.
You will learn to live in intentional community, both personally and professionally, while creating a culture of safety that cultivates authenticity, vulnerability, and fun.
We desire to best understand the heart and tactfulness of living in a culture of feedback. Apprentices continually push one another into sanctification and greatness.
CGA is designed to activate you into your identity in Christ. To do this, we ask that our apprentices live out a life of transparency with community in order to better serve and be served.
