Our Mission: Empower to Care
To train and mobilize chaplains, civil diplomats, and Christian leaders worldwide with excellence, enabling them to serve communities with compassion, integrity, and impact—driven by Christ’s example.
Our Vision: Where Hope Meets Action
We believe we will be the world’s leading agency for Christian chaplaincy and leadership, with an influential presence on every continent promoting peace, equity, and care for others.
We envision a future where every nation has well-trained leaders and chaplains capable of integrating humanitarian aid and spiritual support. We want to be synonymous with excellence, unity in the Body of Christ, and transformative impact, offering comfort, direction, and dignity to people of all cultures and in all contexts, especially in the midst of crises, disasters, and conflict.
Our Core Values:
In every initiative and every step, we are guided by non-negotiable values that reflect our heart and our purpose:

Our History: A Legacy in the Making
CTMA was established to fill a vital gap: the need for high-quality training for leaders and chaplains serving in a complex global setting. Since our founding in Orlando, Florida, we have begun to build an expanding network of people who can become agents of change in their own communities and in high-need settings around the world.
Our journey is marked by an unwavering commitment to excellence and a heart for service. Every course, every accreditation, every certified mentor, and every mission accomplished brings us closer to our vision of a more compassionate and just world.
