Frequently Asked Questions

We would love to answer any questions you might have!

How much do MTP classes cost?

All MTP Midwest classes are free! This is a ministry of local churches for local churches. We want to equip and train people to become effective in the ministry of their church. 

Do I get a diploma?

MTP Midwest classes are focused on doing ministry. We do not give out certificates or diplomas. Our goal is to help you become more effective at ministry!

Can I take classes at home?

The short answer is “yes you can.” However, this is our least recommended option. One of the goals of MTP is to create and strengthen spiritual partnerships between local churches. Gathering in a small group at your local church will significantly aid in accomplishing this goal.  

How old do I have to be?

Classes are designed to be taught at a higher level of instruction than your typical adult bible study. We do not put an age limit on the class, but leave it to your discernment.
