Training the Heart – Instructing the Mind – Empowering the Hands

The vision of Africa Theological Seminary (ATS) is empowered Christian leaders transforming Africa and the world. ATS is not principally about graduations, academics, degrees or students. ATS is about raising up Christian leaders who will transform Africa and the world for the glory of God.

To this end, ATS exists to serve the church by providing quality, relevant, in-service theological education for the discipling and equipping of its leaders. This is done via: “Training the heart. Instructing the mind. Empowering the hands.” (The motto of ATS.) The focus at ATS is on discipling and equipping Godly leaders. ATS does involve itself with graduations, academics and degrees, however these things are only means in achieving the vision of empowered Christian leaders transforming Africa and the world.

ATS is the formal training arm and ministry of International Christian Ministries.

Africa Theological Seminary Distinctives

ATS concentrates on preparing those in ministry rather preparing people for ministry. ATS is looking for students who already have a track record in ministry and leadership, but who need more training and equipping. Further, ATS is committed to keeping students in ministry while attending ATS. The program is built around its students coming to the campus three times a year for intense study, and then returning to their ministries and communities to apply what they have learned. The application of what was learned in the “real world” in real ministry is an essential part of the program.

ATS has a goal to see students and staff spiritually transformed to live more like Jesus resulting in them being agents of positive change and development in their churches, ministries and communities. The proper study and application of the Bible and Theology leads to favorable transformation and development of both people and communities.
