PHILOSOPHY:
THE PURPOSE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF ANCHOR OF LIFE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
Anchor Of Life Theological Seminary (A.L.T.S.) exists for “education and training of Christian workers including teachers, ministers, missionaries, and gospel musicians, who may competently and effectively proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
The Educational Philosophy of Anchor Of Life Theological Seminary (A.L.T.S.)
Underlying the education philosophy of the Institute is the conviction that the Bible in its original manuscript is the verbally inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God. Consequently, a study of the Bible constitutes the most significant discipline for any person. This concept is reflected in the institute’s Academics Programme. The Bible therefore, is the central integrating factor of the total curriculum. All truth ultimately is related to and unified by the revealed Word.
The Bible reveals the following…
- A Triune God, who is Creator, Redeemer and source of all truth, has desired to communicate himself to mankind throughout human history.
- Man, who was created by God in His own image, was alienated from God by sin, yet is a being of infinite worth and, when regenerated, is able to discover God’s plan for individual fulfillment.
- Education is the Spirit-directed process in which a student, guided by a teacher or his own study, receives knowledge by which he modifies his attitude and behavior to conform more to the purpose of God and the character of Jesus Christ.
