The mission of World Class Cities Ministries is to train pastors, plant churches, and provide for the physical needs of people around the world. Training Pastors Our primary focus is to train ministers. While foreign missionaries can be successful in sharing Christ after entering a new culture, WCCM has found the most success in training local ministers who have been reared in the culture of their home country. With a focus on traveling to cities with a population of 1 million or more, WCCM trains ministers in the application of theology, Biblical languages, effective leadership techniques, and raising church engagement. The intended audience for these trainings is diverse with General Sessions where those involved in all levels of ministry and lay ministry are invited to attend, as well as specialized trainings for audiences such as those in a Senior Pastor position or higher, Women's Ministry, and Children’s Ministry. WCCM has trained more than 100,000 ministers throughout the world. Planting Churches While many pastors find new and innovative approaches and success in the application of the trainings WCCM provides, one of our goals is to equip those who are called to plant and pastor a church or grow new church plants out of their existing church. Providing for Physical Needs While our main focus is on ministerial training that results in church planting, our secondary focus is to provide humanitarian aid both within the church and within the community. Recent projects we've undertaken through WCCM Partners are digging sheltered wells (boreholes) where anyone in the community may get water for free in Kenya; providing health and medical information and attention from a Registered Nurse in schools, churches, and communities throughout the world; and providing sanitary supplies to schoolgirls in Tanzania. Each of these projects is free to the communities they serve and is available to all in the community regardless of their religious affiliation.
