Ministry Focus

Theological Education

 

Theology is more than a required course at a Christian college—theology is life or death for a new church on the mission field. Worldwide, about 85 percent of the approximately 2.2 million evangelical churches are led by pastors with no formal theological education. In such environments, including many places where oral learning is the norm, a lack of a solid biblical foundation can open the door to prosperity heresy, syncretism, and outright apostasy.

Use Your Passion for Theological Education on the Mission Field

We need people who are passionate about teaching the theological truths of the Bible to men and women who will lead others into true, saving faith in Jesus Christ—and in him alone.

Here’s what Pastor Keith Sova of South Church in Lansing, Mich. shared about his experience in short-term theological education:

“Training grassroots Christian workers in [country] was some of the most valuable time I have ever spent in ministry. Our ability to impact the kingdom through our own ministry is so limnited compared to investing in other who will be able to teach others also (2 Tim 2:2). Their zeal and commitment to the Lord, not to mention their access to places most Westerners would not be able to go, gives me great excitement about the potential fruit that the Lord will produce through the brothers and sister we worked with.”
