Equipping students to grow spiritually, think creatively, teach biblically and serve contextually.
Our Values
Affordability
We are committed to making our education affordable by automatically granting a 75% discount off the tuition rates of our sister school in the United States. In addition, most students receive significant scholarships that make our tuition rates among the most affordable in Asia.
Accessibility
All of our degree programs are part-time, consisting of a combination of online learning with condensed face-to-face modules in selected cities throughout Asia. Without a residency requirement, students already in ministry are able to earn their master’s degree without leaving their ministries or, in many cases, their home countries.
Global Perspective
ABTS offers U.S.-accredited degrees through Cornerstone University located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States of America. At the same time, ABTS is firmly planted in Southeast Asia with our office in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This combination of East Meets West, with professors from around the world, brings a truly global perspective to the classroom.
Context
One hallmark of ABTS classes is relevance. Each class is specially tuned to both the cultural and ministerial needs of the local context. Classes at ABTS are never merely a theoretical exercise but integrate theory and practice in ways that are relevant to the real-life situations of our students.
What students are saying...
My studies with ABTS have helped me become an ambassador for Faith at Work to my neighbors and friends in the marketplace.
ABTS has helped me bridge the gap between theology and daily living. The classes challenge our preconceived notions of faith, culture and successful Christian living.
ABTS has enabled me to pursue international standard theological training while serving in my local ministry context.
