Cana New Wine Seminary Online
About Cana
Cana is where the water of the word is transformed into the wine of contemplative experience. Students, pastors and lay leaders who want a grace immersion are invited to join us for online theological training in an atmosphere of joy unspeakable. You can now study at your own pace with our online classroom.
John Crowder hosts this unique seminary for wild-eyed wonder junkies to be deeply established in the revelation of the Gospel of Grace. Cana offers a unique marriage of life-transforming, happy theology woven seamlessly with the intoxicating practice of the presence of God. A place where you will find doctorate level theologians and mystical ecstatics sharing the same platform. Cana is a "drunken seminary" saturated in the life-giving wine of the New Covenant: both charismatic and theological.
Cana's course of study is accessible enough for entry-level folks with no theological background, yet deep enough to challenge and train existing pastors and ministers in a revolutionary understanding of Trinitarian theology not found in most other programs. Whether you want continuing education or a focused supplement to your current college or ministry school, Cana promises to deliver groundbreaking revelation for people of all walks of life.

Graduation Certificate
After completing all four semesters, students may inform us of their finished course work to receive their graduation certificate.
Student Viewership Agreement
All students must strictly pledge not to share the videos or access codes in any way. The only exception is that spouses and family may view the video with the student in person (only persons officially registered will receive graduation credit). Home groups or churches may inquire about reduced tuition for their groups, but videos are only to be shared with registered students. By participating in Cana Online, you are agreeing to honor our student viewership agreement. As a nonprofit ministry we are dependent on tuition to keep all our outreaches, orphanages and missions running around the world. As tempting as it may be to share these videos with non-students, please respect our policy. Thank you for your honesty in this and for respecting our ministry and fairness to other paid students in this way.
