Leadership Training For Christ (LTC) is a nation-wide program of the churches of Christ which seeks to mentor students in ways of serving God while exploring and developing their own unique talents and interests. Students in 3rd through 12th grades partiipate in individual.and group actiivities throughout the fall and spring, culminating in an annual regional convention over Easter weekend. We are fortunate that this event is held here in Tucson, but Christians from all over the southwestern United States travel to share and celebrate together. Below is a list of some activities offered by LTC.
