Purpose: MTI is a non-degree academic program equipping ministers and lay-leaders to live out their calling to serve Jesus Christ and His church.
This program is perfectly designed for:

• Sunday School teachers who want to teach the Bible with more depth and accuracy
• Lay people who desire to know more from God’s word

This if a non-degree program. Students receive a diploma after completing 8, 16 and 24 courses. The program continues to grow and offer additional courses.
We offer two classes in the spring semester, and two in the fall. Classes meet on Tuesday evenings from 6-8:45 pm at our Associational office for eight weeks. Individuals may choose to attend in person or online through WebEx. Tuition for each course is $50 if you register online.
