Missionary Training Center (MTC)

Get the training you need to become a missionary.
Right now, more than 100 people groups are asking New Tribes Mission to send people to share the Gospel with them. Many have been waiting for years. Is that a need you want to help meet? The Missionary Training Center course will prepare you.
You'll be equipped to serve in career ministry with New Tribes Mission as a cross-cultural church planter or in a role supporting church planting. Your instructors are experienced missionaries, who are passionate about teaching you field-proven methods that are constantly updated to remain effective and relevant. They want you to be able to give God your best.
And since biblical ministry is about relationships and making disciples, they'll model that, pouring their lives into yours. You'll get opportunities to practice it yourself in teaching opportunities, small group interaction, team projects and ministry outreaches, so you are ready to share not just life, but abundant life.
Training provides spiritual foundation and tools
The folks who are part of the church-planting team tell you much they value the foundation for ministry they received at New Tribes Bible Institute, and the practical instruction from missionary training.
