Tavriski Christian Institute (TCI) — Organization Profile
Tavriski Christian Institute, commonly known as TCI, is a Christian educational and mission-training organization connected with Ukraine and ministry across the former Soviet Union. Partner churches and mission organizations describe TCI as an evangelical institution focused on continuing biblical education, ministry preparation, and leadership training. The organization’s correct website is listed publicly as mission.org.ua.
TCI’s work centers on training ministers, missionaries, church planters, pastors, evangelists, and local Christian leaders for long-term service. Partner descriptions identify TCI as a ministry that provides certificate and degree programs, including training designed for students who cannot relocate for a traditional four-year program. Its educational work is practical in focus, preparing leaders who can serve churches, guide new ministries, and strengthen Christian witness in difficult contexts.
The organization serves students and ministry leaders connected with Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus. Partner updates describe TCI’s ministry as extending into former Soviet Union countries and several Central Asian contexts where Christianity faces restrictions. Public partner information specifically names Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Georgia among regions connected with TCI’s training and ministry reach.
TCI’s educational approach includes structured biblical training, pastoral preparation, church-planting formation, youth ministry training, and ongoing mentoring. One partner description identifies a Certificate Youth Course for men and women preparing to work with teens and young adults, along with a Certificate Pastor Training Program made up of eight courses over two years for pastors, evangelists, and local missionaries. Other partner descriptions emphasize TCI’s continuing support of leaders after training through coaching and ministry relationships.
The war in Ukraine has deeply affected TCI’s work. Partner updates report that in March 2022, TCI’s property in eastern Ukraine was seized by Russian troops, with facilities including offices, dormitories, and a large library destroyed or lost. After that disruption, TCI relocated its operations and resumed training students while also taking part in humanitarian efforts for war-affected communities. Updates in 2025 reported that TCI had moved operations to a more permanent facility in Kyiv and continued preparing graduates for ministry.
People can engage TCI by praying for its students, teachers, and ministry partners; supporting theological education in Ukraine and Central Asia; connecting through the organization’s website; or giving through partner organizations that publicly support TCI’s work. Churches interested in global missions, leadership development, and ministry training in restricted or underserved regions may find TCI’s work connected to long-term pastoral preparation, church planting, youth ministry, and humanitarian service.

CMI is connected with leadership in Arizona and serves mission workers across 110 countries. Its story began in 2004, when a mission organization working in South Asia invited coaching support for six global workers. That initial work led to a wider vision for making coaching available to thousands of field staff, and Coaching Mission International was incorporated in 2006. Since then, CMI has trained more than 500 mission leaders serving in 54 countries and has provided more than 65,000 hours of coaching to more than 4,100 mission workers.
The organization’s core focus is developing global workers to have transformative and sustainable impact. CMI describes coaching as a way to help workers process challenges, transitions, calling, leadership questions, cultural adjustment, team dynamics, purpose, and spiritual formation. Its vision is to see mission workers strengthened, encouraged, and equipped to serve well and thrive.
CMI operates through coaching, coach training, workshops, courses, mentoring, and volunteer support. Its courses include Foundations for Coaching Excellence, Advanced Mentor Coaching, Coaching with Personality Types, Coaching with Cultural Intelligence, Coaching with Life Purpose, Advanced Global Coach Certificate, and Training Transformational Trainers. The Advanced Life Coach Certificate is accredited by the International Coaching Federation as a Level 1 training program.
The ministry’s distinctives include Christ-centered coaching, cross-cultural awareness, mission experience, and training designed for people serving in global ministry contexts. CMI’s coaches and trainers bring experience from pastoral ministry, international missions, member care, leadership development, nonprofit work, education, counseling, and cross-cultural service. The organization’s materials emphasize the coach approach as useful not only for certified coaches, but also for ministry workers who want to lead and serve others more effectively.
People can engage with Coaching Mission International by getting a coach, becoming a coach, taking a course, attending a workshop, scheduling a call, giving financially, receiving email updates, volunteering, or exploring opportunities to serve with the CMI team. The organization also invites mission workers, churches, and mission organizations to use coaching skills as a tool for strengthening leaders and supporting people serving in challenging ministry settings.
