Do you sometimes feel you're the only one seeking to discuss today's worldly issues from a Christian viewpoint? Do you often feel challenged by others to explain what you believe? You are not alone! The Centurions Program gathers Christians together to learn how to live out their faith authentically and powerfully in the world and unites them in an ongoing and growing network of worldview movement leaders.
Become the person God intended you to be by sharing your Christian faith in your home, workplace, church and community. The Centurions Program will help you gain confidence, understanding and knowledge as you apply biblical truth to every aspect of your life -- becoming more like Christ in how you think and act.
