Who We Are

The mission of BiblicalTraining is to help leaders in the local church become effective ministers of the Gospel by providing them with world-class, Christ-centered educational resources that will allow learning to take place in community. In other words, our goal is to help make fully-formed followers of Christ. Here are some of the individuals that help to fulfill this mission:

Bill and Robin Mounce Bill Mounce (pictured here with his wife, Robin). I am the President and founder of BiblicalTraining.org. BiblicalTraining started as a dream to share the highest quality education possible with the greatest number of people possible for the lowest price possible. Initially I was thinking in terms of elder training in the local, American church, but the dream quickly expanded to becoming a major training site for people around the world, especially for the poorest of the poor in the majority world. My personal information can be found at www.BillMounce.com.

Matt Smith Matt Smith. I am the Vice President of BiblicalTraining.org. I oversee the certificate program, help write course curriculum, and develop relationships with churches and individuals that partner with BT. Previously, I served as the associate pastor at Bethlehem Christian Church in Elon, NC and as the VP at New Directions International, a missions organization that partners with national church leaders. My passion is to see leaders within the local church equipped for doing the work of ministry that God may be glorified. My personal information can be found at www.DMatthewSmith.com.

Ed Taylor Ed Taylor. I am the director of BiblicalTraining.org, which means I am primarily responsible for editing the recorded audio, keeping the website up to date, answering questions that come in through email, and do many of the day-to-day things that come up. In one sense, I try to do whatever I can to free Bill up so that he can concentrate on vision, networking, and getting new classes.

Tim Tennent Tim Tennent. I am a member of the board of BiblicalTraining.org, and am the President at Asbury Theological Seminary. For the last 23 years I have also taught at the Luther W. New, Jr. Theological College (NTC) of Dehra Dun, India, as well as in China, Nigeria, Thailand, and Eastern Europe. My personal information can be found at www.TimothyTennent.com.
