Distinctives
The Evangelical Theological Seminary has a set of distinct objectives:
- To get involved with the emerging evangelical leadership in Asia in a deep
and abiding study of the Word of God.
- To raise crops of Bible expositors who will be equipped to stem the tide
of spiritual illiteracy and abnormality.
- To encourage outreach with scholarship.
- To make full knowledge of the Bible available to all seekers of truth
irrespective of creed, sex, race, color or religion.
- To organize and set up training programs to meet the biblical and holistic
challenges of the church.
- To organize job-oriented short term training for Christians who are
involved in various Christian ministries.
- To cooperate with like-minded church agencies, programs, institutions and
missions in India and abroad.
- To enlist and invite a team of experts from India and abroad who will be
of help in various fields of ACA interest.
- To organize and conduct degree and
diploma courses, in church-related ministries and award degrees, diplomas
thereof.
- To organize liberal arts and science
degree coursers, affiliating these to local universities concerned.
ACA is incorporated with the Government of Karnataka as an independent
training institution privileged to award diplomas and degrees to the
successful candidates of the theological training programs conducted by it.
We have an understanding with some of the best theological seminaries in
the West to accept our graduates for higher studies with full recognition of
our degree. Because of our firm commitment to our doctrinal position we
intend to elevate our scholastic standards independently. When we find
appropriate like-minded institutions/seminaries, organizations/agencies that
are helpful for the unhindered accomplishments of the philosophy and
objectives of ACA, we do not hesitate to associate with them.
ACA is non-denominational institution. The members of the faculty,
governing boards and student body hail from various evangelical
denominations and independent Bible believing churches. The ACA seminary is
committed to minister to those of like-biblical faith and welcome to its
student body qualified persons who are in agreement with its doctrinal
position.
