MAXIMIZE
Are you a Sunday School teacher, church leader, small group leader, pastor or potential pastor looking for some theological training? We are excited to partner with Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary to offer a special community learning cohort using their Go Certificate online training.
Our desire is to use this training to create a community of learning and growing in God's word and developing leaders in our association. We will meet once a week for about two hours. Participants will watch two, twenty minute lectures, and have a discussion on the lecture and assigned reading. There are seven courses that make up the certificate. Take one, two, five, or all seven! Cohorts will be fifteen weeks long. We will take a week or so break, and then start the next. If you take all seven courses in the certificate, it will take a little over two years. Here are the courses that we will be offering in our cohort.
​
Understanding the Bible (Hermeneutics)
Christian Theology
Great Commission Studies
Old Testament
New Testament
Historical Theology
Current Issues in Christian Ethics
​​
Cohorts will be facilitated by our Director of Missions, Wesley Smith, and TFBA pastors. Contact the TFBA office for more information. To register for the first cohort, CLICK HERE.

Part of our strategy to impact lostness by serving local churches is to maximize the gifts and talents of pastors, staff, and church members.
​
We believe that it is God's plan to reveal himself to the world through the local church (Ephesians 3:10). Each church is uniquely made of people with special gifts and talents. Our desire is to help churches maximize those gifts and abilities by encouraging and training leaders.
​
We do this by offering:
Pastor fellowships and learning communities and cohorts
Leadership development/ coaching
Gospel conversations training
Transitional ministry planning
Mission readiness
Congregational consulting
Church facility and signage assessments
Church Revitalization Training
Connection with other ministry partners and networks
