FOR CHURCHES

SMTC enables the local church to equip and send missionaries from their fellowship.

This is an excellent investment of mission funds and we encourage the sending church to provide up to 50% of the support needed by the missionary intern.

The amount of support raised should cover the entire training and internship period. Seaside Ministry Training is committed to keeping this experience as affordable as possible and will provide training in raising prayer and financial support.
