PROBLEM
The conventional seminary model is facing soaring costs for the institution and for prospective students
Educational standards continue to decline, and methods focus on content delivery without the church or mentorship
Theological advances in anthropology and pedagogy are rarely deployed
Growing, vibrant church bodies across the world lack substantial options for high quality Reformed training
SOLUTION
Through collaborations with other institutions and a deliberately slim operational model, costs are a fraction of the norm
A rigorous, traditional curriculum includes on-site intensive sessions at GTI Central and mentorship in the local church
Innovative pedagogy reflects advances in theological formation such as daily prayers, craftsmanship, and deliberation
Key commitments to the global church include resourcing immediate needs and building long-term instructional sites
OUR APPROACH
Embodied Learning: Balancing digital resources with in-person mentorship and residential immersion for formation in culture, not just content
Church-Centric Formation: Training students within their home church contexts to foster long-term ministry impact in one’s native region
Integrated Theology: Uniquely and extensively configuring theology with practical aspects of daily life, ministry, applied ethics, and worship
