Affiliate Partners (AP)

CenterQuest seeks to work collaboratively with a diversified network of spiritual formation and spiritual direction entities (organizations, churches, groups, institutions, and individuals) all committed to the holistic ministry of formation. To date, we are privileged to have forged partnership with more than 40 likeminded “affiliates” for mutual prayer support, encouragement, endorsement, and resource sharing. We continue to welcome every opportunity to unite ourselves with many others who share a common vision and burden. The list below represents the initial confirmed partners of CQ.
