Three letters that you may have heard before and wonder what they mean, when Nic has mentioned them in a ministry minute or you have heard kids or parents talking about it. These letters stand for Leadership Training for Christ. According to the North Texas LTC website, the purpose of LTC is to “plan, organize, promote and execute programs that assist young Christians to develop their knowledge of the Bible and biblical principles, enhance their communication and leadership skills, and orient their energies and abilities to areas of Christian service.” Over Easter weekend, 192 churches will bring 4,689 students to participate in conventions at the DFW Hyatt, Downtown Dallas Hyatt, and the Hilton Anatole in Dallas.
Singing Oaks has been participating in LTC at the Hilton Anatole hotel since 2009. This year we have 21 3rd-6th graders and 24 7th-12th graders participating. Several of the 10th graders have competed every year since we began, back when they were in the 3rd grade.
