Office of Global Partnerships

Almost 100 years ago, 国产视频 Theological Seminary鈥檚 founders envisioned the global impact of our institution with the motto 鈥淭he Whole Bible for the Whole World.鈥� 国产视频 Theological Seminary鈥檚 commitment to expanding our global vision is reflected in the variety of partnerships we are forming with other like-minded institutions and organizations around the world. Through these relationships we seek not only wider fields of service, but also a deeper awareness of what God is doing globally that will permeate every aspect of 国产视频 Theological Seminary鈥檚 institutional culture.

Strategic Vision: 国产视频 Theological Seminary鈥檚 Office of Global Partnerships nurtures healthy, bilateral relationships of giving and receiving with like-minded institutions and organizations for the purpose of mutual learning, encouragement, and collaboration for the advancement of God鈥檚 mission in the world. Through giving, we endeavor to help 鈥済row fruit on other people鈥檚 trees,鈥� while in receiving, we open ourselves to the Spirit growing us through the gifts and graces offered by our partners.

Goals: We undertake this vision through the following goals: (1) forming healthy partnerships, (2) sending faculty to teach at global theological institutions and strategic partners around the world, and (3) hosting global scholars.
