ASIA EVANGELICAL COLLEGE & SEMINARY has taken to heart the need for training and equipping Asians in Asia. Our students come not only from all around India, but also from neighboring countries such as Nepal, Myanmar, and even as far as from Korea.
OUR BELIEFS:
Our Statements of Faith and the Five Spirits underline our approach to theological education. There is a dearth of committed, reliable pastors and Christian leaders, who can take responsible positions in Church and Society. It is also true that theological education (evangelical) in this country is suffering due to the lack of well qualified Christian personnel.
DEGREE COURSES OFFERED:
Under the authority of the Scripture, ASIA EVANGELICAL COLLEGE & SEMINARY endeavors to fulfill its commitment to the ministry through graduate education, professional development and spiritual formation. The Degree courses offered by our institution seek to promote sound theological training and the formation equipment of pastors, evangelists, church planters, and leadership personnel for the varied ministry of the church planters, and for the theological education in India and the whole of Asia.
EDUCATING STUDENTS IN INDIA AND ABROAD:
From its local setting here in Bangalore, ASIA EVANGELICAL COLLEGE & SEMINARY looks out to the whole of India and Asia and even beyond - to the whole world. This local, Asian and International perspective reinforces the concern not only for evangelism but to install and implant a missionary vision within the life of everyone who comes to our institution for theological training.
CURRICULUM SUMMARY:
ASIA EVANGELICAL COLLEGE & SEMINARY’s educational responsibility is clearly seen in the obligation to carry out the teaching task embraced by the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20), and our Lord’s commissioning every disciple of His with these words: “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you” (Jn.20:21).
This is reflected in the macro curriculum in the offering of the following subjects:
- Bible Study (Old Testament & New Testament)
- Christian Doctrine (Biblical & Systematic Theology)
- Christian Ethics (Biblical dealing with life issues)
- Church History (Organization, polity)
- Missions
