We develop church planters. We train up men who are ignited by their radical love for their Lord, who lead by example, who preach with passion and conviction, and who motivate others to spend themselves for the glory of Jesus Christ and the expansion of His kingdom.

We believe the best lessons in leadership are not gained from a book. There is a gap to be bridged between the academic study provided in seminary and practical, hands-on training that can occur in the context of the local church. The Harvest Training Center for Church Planting (HTC) bridges that gap and seeks to finish the work of building a pastor.

Our focus is on individual character and developing preaching and leadership gifts. Men selected as Training Center residents work through a rigorous 30-week residency program at the Elgin campus, from September through April.

Our program builds upon lessons learned in seminary, honing those skills and tools that are best learned and most utilized in the context of local church ministry.
