Asia has a plethora of religions and invites a tendency to blend some of the old practices . . . That's why we insist that students be able to discern what is biblical, what is unbiblical; what is truth, what is untruth; and not simply accept everything that is presented to them. (Dr. Nienhuis)
What drives me to study is the hunger for learning. I know that someday God would bring me back to the class room to train future pastors and Christian workers. (Philippine Grad)
My primary purpose for entering the program was to get a degree, but as I started taking the courses, discussing and interacting with other students and our professors, I found myself a person of little learning. (Philippines, '05 Grad)

Asia Baptist Theological Seminary (ABTS) is a unique collaboration between Cornerstone University (CU) and the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism (ABWE) for the purpose of providing accredited graduate degrees in theology and ministry. Program development, curriculum design and the day-to-day operation of the Seminary are the direct responsibilities of the ABTS faculty and administration. 
In addition to their individual ministry responsibilities, the ABTS Board has been established to:
1. Assist in strategic planning;
2. Approve and oversee an annual program budget;
3. Recommend a new Dean as needed;
4. Invite the return of ABWE staff from furlough;
5. Plan and execute the Triennial Conference; and
6. Report and liaise with ABWE and Cornerstone
University.
The ABTS Board consists of members appointed equally from both ABWE and CU, one representative from ABTS, and several at-large members. The Board officers are elected and serve 2-year terms.
