Info Center for the MTS Growth Courses. 

What is M.T.S. University?

MTS or ‘Milkshakes to Steaks’ is a series of Christian Growth Courses designed to help a person mature, be balanced in life, and be strong in the their faith.

Each session has 3 elements:

  • Accountability where assignments from the application from the  previous week are reviewed.
  • Analysis of the Scripture: where we explore key scriptures related to the topic for the week.
  • Application: where we encourage immediate practical application to the topic discussed

Small group setting allows for discussion,
 interaction, and new relationships

Who is MTS for?

  • MTS Courses are for anyone wants to grow into the balanced person that God wants them to be.

Where did the name Milkshakes to Steak come from?

  • It comes from Hebrews 5:13 which encourages personal growth, confronting those who have not matured in their faith. 
  • The MTS name and purpose comes from that passage which says: “Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves…”
