At the center of the mission of each local church is making disciples. One of the roles of the Strengthening Team is to equip and resource churches in this pursuit. Our partners at LifeWay recently provided training for discipleship leaders from across the MTSBC. These ministry specialists sharpened their skills in their area of ministry and networked with other leaders in their field to better serve you.
Adam Burt needs no introduction. He leads our Next Gen Team on our MTSBC staff. His desire is to train student leaders in your church to multiply your disciple making capacity. We all want to lead well in student ministry and Adam can help with biblical principles and practical advice. [email protected]

The key to strengthening your discipleship ministry is multiplication. Over the next year, our Strength Team wants to multiply our Team. We want to find local churches who have a heart to encourage, exhort and equip local churches in the next town or county. We are all on the same team and we need to rely on one another to be more effective at our main mission, making disciples. Our hope is that we also teach you how to multiply discipleship leaders at your local church, so that our capacity to fulfill the Great Commission is expanded exponentially.
