We
have experienced a realm in God that we previously
did not know was obtainable. We have come
into a place of His overwhelming and consuming
presence. We have learned about worshipping
at His feet, as Mary did. Jesus loved to go
to the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus, and
as much as He loved the worship and adoration,
He also loved the welcome and warm reception
of Martha. She knew how to entertain her Savior
and how to host His Majesty. If we learn to
worship like Mary, and serve like Martha,
we just might get Lazarus to come forth. Lazarus
was dead, as is much of the population, desperately
waiting to hear of a Living and Loving God
who dwells in the midst of His people. We
must take the burning passion that is in our
hearts for Him out to a lost and dying world...
This is the heartbeat of

Why
Attend Cromwell Christian School of Ministry?
Cromwell Christian School of Ministry provides a
unique teaching environment. Classroom instruction will
include creative communication methods and traditional
lectures. Beyond the classroom, however, CCSM will look
to proven leaders for impartation through prayer, mentoring
and the laying on of hands.
Students will experience many hands on ministry opportunities
through clinics, seminars, apprenticeships and individualized
mentoring. Moreover, they will be able to sow back into
the very fellowships that support and enable CCSM to
serve the community.
By studying and training at CCSM, students will be free
to remain an active part of their local church while
receiving the insights and preparation that church leaders
have to offer. They will be exposed to seasoned regional
five-fold ministers, as well as proven and respected
national and international leaders who have joined CCSM
as adjunct staff and guest teachers.
We believe Cromwell Christian is part of God's unfolding
plan and that it presents an incredible opportunity
to participate in what God is doing in these times.

Meeting
the Need... Providing the Solution
WE BELIEVE that the church is God's instrument to
fulfill His purpose in the earth and is called to develop
spiritual leaders and to mobilize the believing community.
We are commissioned to reach out to the lost, not only
in our own communities, but across cultures and in every
society and nation throughout the world. The immediate
need for trained workers and leadership is obvious and
well recognized across the globe.
We at CCSM believe it requires a city-wide church to
reap a city-wide, and ultimately, a world-wide harvest.
The city-wide church is a formidable force of talent,
diversity, gifting and anointing. It is in unity that
the church has strength and the ability to raise up
the leadership needed to reap the coming harvest.

Why
'Cromwell' Christian School of Ministry?
The name Cromwell Christian School of Ministry was
chosen for the area in which we are located. Cromwell
Valley is in the northern part of Baltimore, also known
as Towson, and is rich in Christian heritage. These
are the places where the followers of John Wesley and
George Whitfield preached, where Robert Strawbridge
held Camp Meetings, and Billy Sunday preached. Many
have gone before us and many will follow. We, like they,
must make the way sure for the future generation. Many
still need to hear. Our desire is to set His mark on
many lives, so that they, too, can go to many places,
fulfilling God's great commission.

The
Vision and Philosophy
Cromwell Christian School of Ministry has been called
by the Lord to be a training center based in the Metropolitan
Baltimore area. Our primary objective is to equip the
next generation of leaders and workers for the coming
harvest and much anticipated revival that will sweep
the country and nations of the world. We believe that
we are on the edge of a coming move of God unlike anything
we have seen before. We can read of past revivals, we
can remember the stories of old, but our cry that goes
up before God is:
If not us, who? If
not now, when? If not here, where?
It is time for revival, so we must be ready. We firmly
believe in the need to equip the body of Christ. We
embrace the Great Commission of Matthew 28, given to
us by Jesus, Himself - teach and preach the Word, teach
obedience to the Word, and make disciples of all men.
By enrolling in CCSM, you are asking to be raised up
as one of God's workers. There is no higher calling,
nothing more challenging to do with your life, and nothing
else more long lasting and life changing. The work before
us is great. The harvest is ready. Together we can make
a difference for the Kingdom of God. If you know you
are called to be one who fulfills the Great Commission,
become a part of Cromwell Christian School of Ministry.

Ministry
Preparation
The
Ministry of Preparation consists of two tracks. It is
for those called to full-time vocational ministry and
who know they need additional preparation, as well as
for those currently functioning in such a ministry,
but desire an infusion of fresh insight and revelation.
The morning courses are the Mary part, sitting at His
feet to learn of Him. The afternoon practicum is the
Martha part, where the learning is walked out and applied.
Christian Service, or Martha, is designed to develop
a ministry of compassion through hands on serving. Students
will be exposed to a wide range of activities that will
empower them in effective city taking strategies.
