The Christian Emergency Network (CEN) operates as a grassroots organization within the religious institutions space, focusing on equipping Christian communities to respond effectively during crises. It offers the ReadyChristian, ReadyChurch, and ReadyCity curricula as a structured readiness and response framework, along with a social platform that helps volunteers organize, connect churches, and support community outreach. The network also provides a resource center featuring advanced training and emergency supplies sourced from its partners, aiming to support individuals, churches, and broader communities in times of emergency. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, CEN was formed in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, with the aim of fostering biblically informed, collaborative responses to national emergencies. The organization emphasizes a shared doctrinal context through its Lausanne Covenant alignment, and involvement in the ReadyCity program requires written commitment to that covenant. CEN works with partners from diverse evangelical and faith-based backgrounds to build a coordinated response capability at local and regional levels.
