Welcome to Your Gateway to the Gospel Ministry
We are happy that you have chosen to serve God in the Gospel Ministry. Since 2011, Ambassadors of Christ Theological Seminary (formerly Ambassadors Bible Institute) has been helping men and women get ready for public Christian service. Students of the Seminary (ACTS) who have completed our training program now serve Throughout the United States and many countries around the world. As God calls men and women to ministry, we believe that call is to be Ambassadors of Christ. The Seminary is an independent institution that is accountable to Ambassadors of Christ General Convocation. Therefore, as an institution of Ambassadors of Christ General Convocation, we adhere to the statement of belief, located under the WELCOME TAB above.
Higher Christian education benefits individuals by providing them with a strong moral foundation based on Christian values. It could help individuals develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for the Bible and Christianity. Christian education can help people grow in their faith and build meaningful relationships. It could also lead to greater understanding of God's plan for their lives and help guide them towards fulfilling their purposes. Overall, Christian education can help individuals grow spiritually, emotionally, and socially.
In 2013, the services of the Seminary were expanded to include resources for a Master of Arts degree program in Christian Ministry and Bachelor of Arts in Ministry degrees in Bible and Theology, Pastoral Leadership, Christian Education, Youth Ministry, Evangelism, Discipleship, and Spiritual Formation. The Seminary also added a Certificate Program in Chaplaincy. Therefore, the Seminary is the educational extension of Ambassadors of Christ General Convocation; and is under the direction of the Board of Regents and the Discipleship and Christian Education teams of Ambassadors of Christ General Convocation.
Another distinctive practice of Ambassadors of Christ Theological Seminary is that we no longer operate based on an outcome-based education delivery system. During General Convocation 2018 it was determined that our learners would be better equipped for Christian ministry by deploying a Competency Based Education Delivery System to meet the needs of our learners. The blessing that came from this process meant that during the height of COVID-19 Ambassadors of Christ was able to remain active and operate with a fully online program of study. CBE delivery makes sure that all principles and concepts are learned. Learners will move from a generalized understanding into a practicum that motivates personal and community transformation. The ultimate and final goal is to set up ACTS Students to succeed.
