New CKN Website

As founding partner of the Cornerstone Knowledge Network (CKN), Aspen Group is proud to announce the new CKN website has launched with even more resources available, as the CKN has taken full ownership of buildingforministry.com.

“We are excited about the new CKN website launch and the valuable resources and information it will continue to offer to ministry leaders on alignment and facility issues,” shared Ed Bahler, CEO of Aspen Group.

Buildingforministry.com (BFM) was originally a web channel created through the partnership between Cornerstone Knowledge Network (CKN) and Christianity Today International (CTI).  As part of an effort to fine tune their vision, CTI has transferred the BFM website to CKN. CKN and CTI will continue to maintain a supportive and collaborative relationship, including CTI becoming a valued Knowledge Partner of CKN.

CKN is passionate about radically enhancing ministry’s impact in this dawning digital age and is dedicated to creating powerful resources for church leadership, as well as resources for designing and constructing strategic church facilities.  CKN will continue to offer the valuable information that was provided through BFM to help church leaders align Culture, Leadership, Ministry, and Facilities on www.theCKN.com

The e-newsletter and new website will offer blog posts, videos, articles, and other important resources contributed by the CKN, its Knowledge Partners and Editorial Advisors.

The Collaborative Partnership of Building for Ministry

By Lynn Noe, Customer Relations Coordinator

Linking arms…. Joining forces… All simple ways of describing strategic partnerships.  Last year, Christianity Today International (CTI) and Cornerstone Knowledge Network (CKN) formed a strategic partnership with the launch of  Building For Ministry.  Creating space, engaging people, and transforming lives is the mission of this joint venture.

Building for Ministry provides a great deal of content in two different formats:

1. The first is the website, http://www.buildingforministry.com.  Readers have access to downloads and articles from a variety of contributors.  The resources cover a diverse mix of subjects that are catalogued under Discern, Assess, Lead, Design, Build, and Learn. 

2. The second format is contact delivered via e-newsletter.  A bi-weekly publication is sent out featuring new content that has been added to the Building For Ministry website.  You may sign up for that newsletter here. 

Christianity Today International has a long tradition of providing resources in all aspects of faith with a mission to “create Christian content that changes the people who change the world.”   Building For Ministry draws on the ministry expertise and passion of both CTI and CKN to help churches utilize, design, and build ministry space based on an understanding of culture, church identity, and ministry vision.
