A New Day. A New Culture.

Post-pandemic, the world changed. America changed. We changed. Divisions grow deeper while relational tensions and external conflict grow wider.

We are building a new culture of leadership, not with more politics and religion but with love, truth, wisdom and guidance rooted in the timeless principles of scripture without religious or political bias. 

CIPS is an organization rooted in scripture, not nationalism. Rooted in truth, not nationalism. We have one agenda - God's, not country's. We are thankful to be that unique organization in this unique time in history to lead in this space at local levels around the globe.
