Vision
The vision of the Leadership Development and Training Ministry (LDTM) is to become a group of people dedicated to continually investing in increasing the capacity of church leaders to serve.

Mission
The mission of the LDTM is to research training needs for church leaders. To this end, training needs are expected to come from two major sources. First, in-house training will consist of independent study courses, in service training, peer training, and non-traditional church school. Second, outside training sources will include locally and nationally recognized speakers, conferences, courses through other churches, and traditional education forums. Furthermore, training assessments will promote long-term planning and budgeting.

Justification
Last year, strategic planning sub-team 2 (SPT#2) completed SWOT analysis that focused on the issue of church growth. One of the findings stated, "All ministries indicated a need for more leadership training as a way of improving their effectiveness and professionalism". This was also expressed in the Shiloh Membership Survey conducted February/March 2001. The LTDM is a response to this very important call and is well aligned with the shared vision and the vision God has given our pastor.
