The program has equipped and helped me confirm my ministry. (Philippines, '05 Grad)
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)
My greatest appreciation to God for the vision of the Seminary in bringing the training and tools to my country. (Philippine Grad '05)
Welcome to ABTS
We are pleased that you have found us. Please take your time to look around.
ABTS exists to provide
- accredited,
- graduate-level
- theological education
to Bible college professors, pastors, missionaries, and other church leaders who may not otherwise be able to receive such training.
If this is of interest to you, through our program we will
- endeavor to better equip you for ministry
- by helping to shape your theological and critical thinking abilities
- and enhance your ministry competencies.
Why consider pursuing theological education through ABTS? Our students share their thoughts:
"It is compulsory to have a theology degree. I value this ABTS degree because it is an in-ministry degree combined with knowledge and ministry experience. You will get more than just a degree -- a transformation in your spiritual life and ministry!"
"Studying through the program, I am often challenged to aim high and work towards perfection in Him, for Him, and through Him. Each and every course I have taken with ABTS impacted me differently, with its teaching being so well planned, comprehensive, fruitful, enlightening, challenging, enriching and most importantly, its professor being the life model through which our Lord continues to move, convict and shape my life."
"As a direct result of studying the program, I am more eager, inclined, and equipped to study the Bible in depth, live on it and thus experience continuous spiritual growth. It was as if I myself have been undergoing an intensive discipleship program."
"I realize the need to have ongoing stimulus in ministry, otherwise one can become stale and rely on past teaching. Every course I have taken has been miraculously timed by the Lord to fit in with the questions I had, the skills I needed to develop practically or issues I needed to think through at the time."
