The Assemblies of God Theological Seminary (AGTS) is a graduate-level educational institution within the evangelical and Pentecostal traditions, the seminary affirms the Bible as God’s written Word, the inspired, infallible and authoritative rule for faith and conduct.

The mission of AGTS is to shape servant leaders with knowledge, skill and passion to revitalize
the church and evangelize the world in the power of the Spirit.

In a culture where the only constant is change, AGTS remains grounded in God’s Word while providing a leading-edge curriculum that challenges students to holistically address current issues with creativity and innovation. This environment encourages students to think outside the box, equipping them to be adaptive, sensitive and relevant to the context in which God has placed them. Such flexibility, combined with a radical dependence on the Holy Spirit, lends itself to a willingness and an ability to address complex issues, while leading the church and society through deep change.

AGTS faculty members represent more than advanced degrees and academic skill. They are scholar-practitioners on the front lines of ministry, doing and writing about what they teach. Whether venturing into countries that restrict the gospel, battling the AIDS epidemic in South Africa, overseeing the rescue of children from the sex trade in India, developing systems for theological education in majority-world countries or building a home for a family to break the cycle of poverty, AGTS faculty members minister worldwide. Smaller class sizes enhance dialogue and give students more opportunity for interaction. Mentoring occurs in classes, faculty offices, hallways, community fellowships and practicum settings.

In addition, AGTS offers a wide variety of delivery systems to meet the needs of resident students and those who cannot relocate to Springfield. In addition to semester-long, seated classes, students can take advantage of alternative formats such as online courses, evening classes, independent studies, week-long modules, weekend courses and directed research.
