Montana Ministry Training Program (MMTP)
We are currently developing a ministry training program to train Christians to be able to plant and lead satellite churches in the state of Montana while serving in a non full-time capacity. The intent is for all of the courses to be completed within a two to three year period. Classes will held in Missoula and taught by various elders, evangelists and teachers from within the International Churches of Christ. Although the curriculum is still being constructed an example of classes that will be offered include: New Testament Survey, Old Testament Survey, Church History, Public Speaking and Preaching, Pastoral Counseling, Community Service and Outreach and the Developing Specialized Ministries within the Local Church.
Please contact us for more information.
Montana Teamwork's Program (MTP)
Our vision for the Montana Teamwork's Program is to provide a healthy, positive environment for Native American and disadvantaged youth, through tutoring and mentoring. Native Americans have the highest suicide, teen pregnancy, and high school drop-out rates among the youth in Montana. Many of these kids are in situations of extreme poverty and they often feel that there is no way out. Studies have shown that one person providing encouragement and support in a childs life can drastically change their outcome. We want to provide that for these kids and give them hope, love, and a brighter future.
Montana Adventure Project (MAP)
Western Montana is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful parts of the United States. Just a few hours north of Missoula is the crown of the continent, Glacer National Park as well as one of our nation's largest wilderness areas.
Due to the fact that a number of men in our church have wilderness experience, we are in plans to develop a summer program for young men from our family of churches to explore the Montana Wilderness. The emphasis of an extended backpacking trip in the wilderness will be on character development through challenge, teambuilding, and inspiration.
As part of the Montana Adventure Project, another program called “Reconnect” will be offered for moms and daughter of all ages to have a chance to spend a week together at a scenic camp in western Montana. Singing, praying, laughing, crying, sharing our hearts, and group discussions will be highlights of this program. Bring your mom or bring your daughter and spend a wonderful week getting a chance to focus on one another in a beautiful and nurturing environment.
