Church Revitalization
Deeper Life Academy
The purpose of the Deeper Life Academy is to gather ministry-minded men and women and reconnect them with the C&MA foundational conviction that the pursuit of the deeper life in Christ will lead to personal and community wide spiritual awakening.
Dr. David Hearn
“The deeper life without mission leads to fanaticism. Mission without the deeper life leads to humanitarianism. But the deeper life with mission will lead to spiritual awakening.”
