Seaside Ministry Training Center
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19)
The Seaside Ministry Training Center (SMTC) provides a program that mentors, equips, and encourages future missionaries and church leaders.
The process consists of three months of classroom training in conjunction with practical Christian ministry assignments, followed by six months at a field location working with a missionary or local pastor.
Program Goals
- Discover, develop, and utilize spiritual gifts.
- Vehicle for transition of Europeans into full-time ministry or active lay ministry (tentmaking).
- Train future leaders for the mission field and/or the Eastern European evangelical church.
- Help students develop evangelism/discipleship as a lifestyle.
- Give students a biblical foundation.
- Learn how to study and apply biblical truths.
- Leadership development.
Training
Many of the courses are taught by pastors/teachers from the United States, while others are taught by Europeans.
Potential students need to:
- Complete an informal personal interview.
- Be willing to commit themselves to the SMTC ministry of International Messengers for nine months.
- Agree with International Messengers’ Statement of Faith and Spiritual Gifts policy.
- Have your pastor’s and church’s blessing to come to SMTC.
- Be willing to raise $50/month support for the nine months you are involved at SMTC.
- Complete and turn in the application form including two character references and two reference questionnaires.
For Churches
SMTC enables the local church to equip and send missionaries from their fellowship.
This is an excellent investment of mission funds and we encourage the sending church to provide up to 50% of the support needed by the missionary intern.
The amount of support raised should cover the entire training and internship period. Seaside Ministry Training is committed to keeping this experience as affordable as possible and will provide training in raising prayer and financial support.
