Mission Training Center
Education and skills training that moves adults from crisis to stability — and from stability to service.
Four focus areas
MTC isn't a typical college. We teach some classes, partner with others for more, and give you credit for growth you're doing outside the program — all held together by a simple accountability plan.
Character, Life Skills & Capacity Building
Getting Ahead, counseling, parenting, GED prep, financial literacy, communication and conflict resolution.
Spiritual Development & Disciplines
Church, Bible study, retreats and reading.
Leadership, Ministry & Skills Training
Continuing Lay Training, the Nazarene Course of Study, and Dynamic Church Planting International modules.
Servanthood & Active Ministry
Serving at Sunday Breakfast, the Resource Center, teaching, mission trips and more.
Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin'-By World
