General Information

The Heart of America LTC Board of Directors are thankful to the Lord for allowing us to be blessed by your students during past conventions. We are looking forward to working with you to continue to improve Heart of America LTC in this and future years. We pray that He will use the talents He has given all of us both individually and as a group to make the Heart of America convention a positive part of ministry to youth, whether that be one or 1000.
Andy Beck will be handling Registration for events and hotel this year. Please remember, the only dumb question is a question not asked. To avoid disappointment or surprises for yourself, or most importantly, the participants, PLEASE ASK!
Contact Andy at ltc@hoaltc.org
Our goal is to make this the best experience possible for all participants. If you have attended other LTC conventions, you will recognize many similarities. Many hours of prayer and work go into making improvements in each year's HOALTC convention; please check to see if the rule or process has changed for this year's convention.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Leadership Training for Christ is an organization designed to stimulate and encourage spiritual, mental, and social growth among young men and women in grades three through twelve. Its mission is to achieve this growth by developing skills in leadership, Bible knowledge, and Christian servanthood.

Skill development in each of these areas will be accomplished through participation in a variety of individual and group events. These events will take place within the context of a wholesome and supportive environment designed for the purpose of fostering enthusiasm and developing Christian leadership among the participants.

WHO SHOULD BE INVOLVED?

All 3rd – 12th grade youth are invited to participate. Each congregation needs to select a Church Coordinator to be the contact person between Registration and your congregation. It is helpful if parents and other adult volunteers serve as “Coaches” to help facilitate the various events.

THINGS TO DO
Please do the following things as soon as your congregation decides to participate in this year’s LTC convention:
Send an e-mail to ltc@hoaltc.org and advise us that your congregation will be participating. This will add you to our contact list. Please send us a note, even if you came last year, so we will know to expect your registration, and we can advise you of any last minute items or changes if needed before you send in the registration.
Write all of the deadlines listed in Dates & Deadlines into your personal calendar, and advise your coaches and parents.
Work with your coaches and youth to determine which events the youth will participate in.
Begin planning for their participation in those events.
