Leadership Training Program

Leadership Training Program

Tri-Cities Baptist Church is committed to the Great Commission through multiplying churches, pastors, and Christian leaders who are equipped and trained for the ministry.

Local Church

The local church is the community gathering of God’s redeemed people. Regardless of one’s specific calling he or she can be certain it is understood, encouraged, developed, and worked within the context of the local church. Therefore, it is the primary leadership training arena.

Seminary

The seminary is an institution providing a near unparalleled depth of knowledge and resources to assist the local church in training Christian leaders. The cooperative effort of the church to assemble the highest standard of formal education for pastors and church leaders is a blessing and an opportunity worthy of pursuing.

Cohort

The Leadership Training Cohort is a group of men and women, set apart for ministry, who deem their training best pursued in community, benefiting from the depth and resources of seminary, while experiencing and leading within the trenches of the local church.


Since its inception in August 2013, 60 students from 10 different churches have participated in the Leadership Training Program.

  • Cohort 1 graduated in May 2015. 
  • Cohort 2 graduated in May 2017.

  • Cohort 4 graduated in May 2019. 
  • Cohort 5 graduated in May 2021.
