M.I.T. Program

The Missionary-In-Training Program (MIT)

Evangelism is the process of getting the love of God into the hearts of men, and the lives of men into the Kingdom of God”

President Frederick M. Smith

In 2012, The leadership of the Remnant Church investigated what type of missionary program the church could be involved in, and then prepared a training program designed for men from about age 13 to age 20 to train and retain missionaries. The course was designed to help our own people, especially the youth of the church, to understand the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Class participants apply the knowledge they gain as they encounter missionary opportunities, by volunteering for service in the church, by sharing with friends in conversations, and by sharing in planned missions and events.

Program Goals
The focus of the program is to share the messages of the gospel, the reasons for the Remnant Church, and the need for the gospel in the world today. Sharing these messages will bring meaning to the lives of those we encounter and will help the church grow.

The MIT Program Brings Meaning:

  • By continuing to prepare people for church service
  • By re-activating members
  • By finding new-members
  • By finding people from other Restoration groups who would like to worship with us
  • By ministering to those who can’t attend church
Growth Opportunities for Participants
To gain the knowledge for oneself is great, but at some point, we are commissioned to go forth and teach others. That is why we call it Missionaries-In-Training. It has been proven that if we take young men, invest in them spiritually, and give them the opportunity to serve they will grow in the work exponentially.

This method has also proven the following:

  • Better understanding of Christ’s doctrine, church culture, and individual commitment
  • Incremental Growth in church membership
  • Individual and corporate Spiritual growth
  • Contribution to the growth of dedicated, active priesthood members
  • Develops better life choices and education of the man
  • Reduces the time to mission field readiness
  • Retains youth in the church
  • Produces future leaders of the church
  • Supports strong families for the church and the kingdom
Course Topics
The Missionary-In-Training Academy material reviews approaches to sharing Christ’s gospel ranging from Restoration theology to basic beliefs.
  • Is Absolute Truth Extinct?
  • Does God Exist?
  • Tolerance
  • Other Church’s Beliefs
  • Fundamentals of the Gospel
