By God’s grace, we have successfully completed another year at the Tom Gentry Bible Training Centre, celebrating the graduation of 14 men who fulfilled all the required steps in their training.
Since the Bible School’s inception in November 2018, a total of 87 students have graduated, each equipped to make an eternal impact.
These graduates, all existing pastors, were inspired by the training their young men had received over the past five years and sought to deepen their own knowledge of the Word. Their desire was simple yet profound: to serve the Lord even better.
These dedicated men of God began their classes in December 4, 2023 and graduated on December 8, 2024. Pastor Keith officiated the ceremony, commissioning them to go forth, proclaim Jesus, and disciple believers.
In a beautiful tradition, a loving couple from First Baptist generously donated funds to provide the graduates with brand-new suits – a gesture they have faithfully continued since the Bible School began in 2018.
Mission statement, vision, objective and the plan for this part of our ministry: Tom Gentry Bible Training Center.
