True Faith Ministers In Training Program

Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
A program for clergy, inclusive of all congregations, designed for both new as well as
experienced ministers in the Baptist tradition to prepare and/or reinvigorate ourselves for
the rigors of ministering in a rapidly changing, 21st-century context; both in and outside the
walls of the sanctuary, and focusing on the best ways to address the needs of those living on the margins as an integral part of ministerial obligations.
