What is the Ministry Training Institute?
MTI is a non-degree academic program equipping ministers and lay leaders to live out their calling to serve Jesus Christ and His church.
In keeping with aspects of the mission of the Big Emory Baptist Association to assist churches in fulfilling the Great Commission through discipleship, ministry, and fellowship, we have partnered with Samford University to bring a non-degree academic program that equips anyone interested with the necessary tools to dive deeper into their faith and learn how to live out their calling to serve Jesus Christ and His church.
These 8-week Courses are $50 per student plus the price of the required reading. Anyone interested in taking the current course can register through the button below.
