Purpose of the Seminary

We are committed to building a diligent and practical missionary team to establish mission churches faithful to the gospel.

Training Goals

Our training aims to cultivate mission workers with a precise gospel faith, systematic biblical knowledge, On-site ministry capabilities, industry skills, a devout and self-sacrificial mindset, familiarity with the multiplication mechanism and model of the industry and the church’s interaction in missions, effective team collaboration, and a servant-leader consciousness. That is, it requires overall growth in seven qualities: faith, knowledge, capabilities, mindset, model, teamwork, and awareness.

The On-site ministry capabilities include personal evangelism, new believer cultivation, phased discipleship training, evangelistic preaching, expository preaching, small group leadership, church planting, teamwork, and strategy planning, decision-making, and implementation. These skills are developed not only through classroom instruction but also through all activities during the training period.

Academic Programs and Courses

The one-year program focuses on Biblical Studies, with a doctrinal overview, Introduction to Old and New Testament Studies, Single Volume and Thematic Studies, and Methods and Principles of Scripture Interpretation. There are also courses and programs related to personal evangelism and cultivation, the theology, setting and implementation of the church’s pastoral care, seminars on ministry strategies, community building and personal spiritual training courses and programs, for 60 credits in total.
