About LTIA

Who is LTIA?

The Leadership Training Institute of America (LTIA) was founded and is led by Dr. Patrick Briney. LTIA conducts regional conferences and a national conference in Washington, DC in June each year. It is a great way to see America’s capitol, develop leadership skills, learn about Biblical apologetics, meet committed Christian students, and benefit from meetings with national leaders and from personal mentorship.

Our Vision

Our Mission

Our History

The Leadership Training Institute of America was founded in 1996 by Dr. Patrick Briney to offer Christian students Biblical world view apologetic training. As a missionary on college campuses for over forty years, he has seen the need for preparing Christians to survive and challenge cultural and academic humanistic indoctrination.

Parent and Pastor Endorsed

Parents and pastors recognize the value of offering their students the kind of training LTIA provides. One father wrote, “I want to express how much I appreciate the great blessing that LTIA was to my son. Thanks be to God and LTIA for changing my heart, my viewpoint, and my support for my son, and for clearly showing me that instead of running from the battle, Christians need to be in the battle for biblical, moral, and godly leadership in all areas of life. The benefits of attending LTIA is amazing.”

Worldview Immersion

I have been involved in college ministry for over forty years and have experienced the pressure of humanism’s attack. I have seen young people buckle under the weight of unanswered questions. I have seen young people abandon their “blind” faith for a “seeing” science. I have seen young people convert from irrational dogmatism to a reasoned. Young Christians need, want, and deserve solid Biblical worldview training that is relevant for today’s challenges and answers questions being asked today.

LTIA honored before U.S. House and Senate

LTIA is about leadership. The world needs leaders who hold to a Biblical worldview. National leaders who have met our students and are familiar with our training have honored us in speeches before the U.S. House and Senate recorded in the Congressional Records.
