Our Calling
About the College Theology and Missions
The History of CTM and Who We Are!
Mission
The College of Theology and Missions is a Bible training college that exists to educate men and women to declare God’s glory among the nations and to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our homes, marketplaces, and communities. Our mission, therefore, is “Everyone builds solid lives.”
“Whoever comes to Me and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.” Luke 6:47-48
Vision
CTM Training will equip students from nations across the globe with the knowledge and skills needed to be ministry leaders in advancing the Kingdom of God on Earth. Our education will be marked by its consistency with the Evangelical Biblical Doctrine, theological depth, and practical applicability in world-wide cultures, with an evangelistic aim. The College will provide online and residential courses to train students already engaged in a vocational or ministerial role, as well as those interested in full-time studies. Students will be united by their affirmation of the biblical doctrine that comes from diverse Christian theological traditions. And a desire to grow in their knowledge of God for the purpose of serving Christ by proclaiming the gospel to unbelievers and discipling those who already believe.
Goal
To train men and women for full-time Gospel ministry and to enrich and enable all laypersons who seek to become more knowledgeable and effective in their own personal ministries. We’re committed of preparing leaders for the next generation of the Christian faith, emphasizing the application of scripture to all aspects of our culture and providing them with excellent academic instruction and guidance.
A Mission With A Purpose
In obedience to the Great Commission and desiring to meet the need for laborers in the harvest field in our nation and indeed, the world — the founder and Faculty in 1998 established the College of Theology and Missions to be faithful to the entire Word of God.
A CTM education develops both mind and heart. Instruction and inspiration are given by godly, caring scholars and teachers who are concerned that the historic Christian faith is both conceptually understood, passionately embraced and intentionally shares. We seek to provide students with nothing less than the integration of solid Biblical, historical, and practical theology with true spirituality, enabling these men and women to become leaders of the church and society.
The College of Theology and Missions combines a rigorous theological education with effective leadership training. The administration and faculty are committed to the truths of Evangelical Biblical-Centered Doctrine and Theology: the sovereignty of God, the inerrancy of His Word, and the Great Commission.
The theological perspective from which training is offered is that of historic Evangelical Reformed theology as expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms. Students from other evangelical perspectives are encouraged to apply and are heartily welcomed.
This foundation of education enables our students to discharge a variety of functions in God’s kingdom, such as pastoral work, counseling, evangelism, missions, church planting, establishing Christian schools, media ministries, and more.
