WHAT IS ATA

Asia Theological Association is composed of theological educational institutions, committed to evangelical faith and scholarship, which are networking together, to serve the Church in equipping the people of God for the mission of the Lord Jesus Christ.

ATA was established in 1970 as a direct outcome of the need expressed at several Asia wide conferences and consultations. Since then, it has grown into a movement committed to serving its members in the development of evangelical biblical theology by strengthening interaction, enhancing scholarship, promoting academic excellence, fostering spiritual and ministerial formation, and mobilizing resources to fulfill God’s global mission within driverse Asian cultures.

Ata seeks to:

Strengthen interaction through inter-institutional fellowship and programs, regional and continental activities, faculty and student exchange programs.

Enhance scholarship through consultations, workshops, seminars, publications, and research fellowships.

Promote academic excellence through accreditation standards, faculty and curriculum development.

Foster spiritual and ministerial formation by providing mentor models, encouraging the development of ministerial skills and a Christian ethos.

Mobilize resources through library development, information technology and infra-structural development.
