CBA1: The Church Business Administration Network Virtual Ministry Campus

Ministry resources every Pastor desires.  Ministry training every servant leader needs.  Ministry services every congregation can afford. 

Innovative, cutting-edge, state-of-the-art.  These are all descriptions of The Church Business Administration Network’s virtual campus, an “on-line school” for ministry growth and development.  Not only in the use and availability of technology, but for the use of technology for servant leader training in the post-pandemic, religious community.

Many servant leader pastors, clergy, church officers, and ministry leaders desire ministry training, but either do not have the time or the financial resources (sometimes both) to pursue a seminary level education.  To answer this need, the CBA1 virtual campus provides an interactive experience for ministry education and learning that fits all budget sizes and schedules regardless of availability. 

On the CBA1 virtual campus, you, God’s servant leader, are self-empowered to receive ministry training at a time, location, and pace that is most convenient for you.  Whether in the privacy, confidentiality, and convenience of your home OR in the presence of your ministry group or congregation, CBA1 gives you full access to professional-grade, seminary level ministry training and resources 24-hours-day, 7-days-a-week, 365-days-a-year.

Cost: Donation Based Learning (for Virtual Training & Resources)

Donation:  Not what you feel the item is worth (because we believe ministry resources and servant leadership training are invaluable to the Body of Christ), but what God has placed in your spirit to give.

All aspects and services provided on CBA1’s virtual campus are “donation based” meaning that you pay the amount God has placed in your heart and what your personal budget can afford. 

No.  The minimum donation amount to access your training and resources on CBA1’s virtual campus is “whatever the Lord places in your spirit to donate”.  The only thing asked of you is that you pray and ask God what God would have donate before you press “Send My Donation”.  Outside of God’s perfect Will, there is no specified dollar amount required for you to utilize and learn on the CBA1 virtual campus.  The CBA1 virtual campus is truly donation based. If your donation is $1 or $10 or $100 or $1,000, The Church Business Administration Network welcomes you and praises God for your presence.  Whatever donation you give, we say “thank you” for helping and allowing our ministry to reach the masses for Jesus Christ.

The Church Business Administration Network’s vision for virtual, ministry-based learning is…

Create one platform (virtual campus) that provides seminary level learning, practical resources, and professional grade ministry training and make it available to every church and every leader without exception.

It is the “without exception” portion of the vision that requires “donation based learning as providing a required cost/fee is what often discourages and sometimes prevents servant leaders from receiving the training the need and desire. 

The Church Business Administration Network has removed ALL “exceptions” because it is our desire for you to know that you are welcome, valued, and appreciated in our ministry.
