“CULTURELink’s combined offerings — consulting and curriculum-based training — have been transformational for our church. They helped us define a biblical and strategic philosophy for cross-cultural missions [and] implement practical processes for vetting, funding, and supporting global partners.”

“Our CULTURELink training was very valuable in building our team unity, building confidence and boldness in delivering the gospel, and preparing the team for reentry… We are using the CULTURELink course to prepare our next team.”

Questions
What is CULTURELink?
CULTURELink is a nonprofit ministry that helps leaders, churches, and organizations “make disciples who make disciples” across cultures. We educate through missions consulting and coaching, equip through short-term missions training seminars and curriculum, and empower the Global Church through worker care, leadership development, and partnerships.
Who do you serve?
Anyone who sends, leads, or serves across cultures: individual leaders and team members, churches of every size, nonprofits and mission agencies, Christian schools and colleges, business-as-mission organizations, and global workers. Many of our church and ministry partnerships begin relationally—one leader attending a seminar or one worker connecting with our staff at a conference.
What makes your approach different?
We consider every event, partnership, and program a discipleship opportunity. For short-term mission trips, it starts with a long-term vision: we help teams consider how to serve their host’s vision, research the culture, serve humbly under the leadership on the field, and keep growing spiritually after they return. In our global partnerships, the field leads: we start with the needs and vision of our partners on the ground.
Are you affiliated with any denomination?
No. CULTURELink is an independent, interdenominational ministry. Leaders from more than 400 churches and organizations have trained with us, representing more than a dozen denominations as well as nondenominational churches. We’ve also trained leaders from mission organizations such as Cru, Frontiers, the International Mission Board (IMB), InterVarsity, Mission Aviation Fellowship, The Navigators, OM, Pioneers, Send International, and YWAM. Read our Statement of Faith.
Where do you serve?
We lead seminars and consult with churches across the United States. Internationally, we serve partners in the Middle East and North Africa, South and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, South and Southeast Asia, East Africa, and Latin America. Our office is in Marietta, Georgia.
Can you come to our church?
Yes. Churches and organizations can host a short-term missions training seminar, and we also lead workshops and on-site consulting. Start the conversation.
How is CULTURELink funded?
Donations are the foundation of our funding. Seminars, curriculum, and consulting keep the ministry healthy and stable, but faithful donors make the work possible, including care for global workers, which is free of cost to our international partners. Give.
