Who are the women in BTCL?
Women of different ages, backgrounds, denominations, and life experiences who want training for ministry (local and international). The class time emphasizes studying as an act of worship, learning in community, and servant-leadership with the goal of equipping women to pass on what they are learning (whether as a mentor, small group leader, or ministering in a cross-cultural context).
