Mission Statement & Core Values

ANTS’ Mission Statement

“Mobilizing the Church for Global Mission in Pentecostal Power!”

ANTS’ Core Values

• Christ-Centered Ministry: We value an effective seminary education that leads students to a deeper and more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ than before beginning that educational process. The Lordship of Christ should affect and be evident in every aspect of education, relationship, and ministry endeavor at All Nations Theological Seminary.
• Biblical Authority: We value the Bible as the Word of God, and is our only infallible rule of faith and practice. We believe in the plenary, verbal inspiration of the Scriptures by the Holy Spirit and, therefore, we affirm the inerrancy of the Holy Scriptures, and through rightly interpreting Scripture we preach Christ and His Kingdom so that people from every nation may be reconciled to God. We believe that the Bible gives us the mandate, message, and model for world evangelization. The central theme of the entire Bible is God’s redemptive work.
• Pentecostal Distinctive: We value and are committed to the Pentecostal dimension of Christianity. We affirm the person of the Holy Spirit as the empowering agent as believers in Christ follow Christ’s command to proclaim this gospel to every nation. Thus, we carefully maintain, from a theological and practical perspective, the Pentecostal distinctive in all educational and ministry activities.
• Mission of God: We believe that God is a missionary God! As such, God’s purpose is to gather those that submit to His Lordship from all nations, tribes, and people of the earth. Thus, the God of Mission has commissioned His Church to proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of His Son Jesus Christ. We believe that this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, then the end will come!
• Kingdom Perspective: We believe that Christians are Kingdom people and Christ Himself is the eternal King over His Kingdom. As Kingdom people we are called to partnership with Christ the King as representatives to proclaim His dominion over all the earth.
• Missionary Church: We value the Church as God’s representative people on earth to participate in the call of God’s Mission. We believe that the task of God’s mission does not fall alone to the Western Church, but rather will involve every Christian from every nation of the world.
• Comprehensive Education: We value the educational approach that considers the whole person, and strives to equip the mind and the heart. We believe that spiritual fervor and education do not have to be mutually exclusive, but rather, God can use both aspects to His glory. We are committed to high standards of research, writing, thinking, and application as a means of preparing students to engage a global community.
• Community Emphasis: We value community fellowship. We believe that within the learning community we must model the ethics and values of the Kingdom of God. Students should reach out to one another with humility and dignity, while modeling a servant’s heart knowing that we are a reflection of the breath and diversity of the family of God.
