AUCKLAND PARK THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY (ATS) The Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa (AFM) was founded in 1908 by John G. Lake. It is the 1st Pentecostal Church in Southern Africa, with a membership that exceeds 1 million. The ATS forms part of the AFM, but it provides inter-denominational training. Vision Through Training and Empowerment, it is our aim to provide Direction, Light and Hope to People and Nations in accordance with God's will. Mission The main objective of the ATS is to provide excellent theological training by means of various tuition methods such as intramural classes, learning centres, distance campuses and home study. Theological training implies the formation or equipment of Christians who have a calling, to further the Kingdom of God by using their gifts in ministry. This includes the training of pastors, evangelists, church planters, local church leaders, youth workers, hospital workers, cell church leaders, workers in children’s ministry, missionaries and educators. Intramural classes are offered at the main campus of the ATS in Auckland Park, Johannesburg. This three-year study programme leads to the BTh degree. Learning centres are local and provincial centres where the church, in co-operation with the ATS, offers one or more of the study programmes. Distance campuses are extensions of the intramural study programme at other venues, and are managed by the ATS Management Council. The ATS offers tuition at different levels on the outcomes based education (OBE) model. |
