Our role at Texas University of Theology is to bring theological education and ministerial training to people who are unable or unwilling to attend a centralized higher education institution.<\/p>

But, more profoundly, while we admire and endorse the efforts of traditional Bible Colleges and Seminaries, we are deeply committed to the concept of training people within the walls of their own local church, and to the provision of excellent teaching material and study options for Christians everywhere. We treat the entire local church environment as part of our educational activity: its worship, its witness, its fellowship, its teaching; its ministry \u2013 are all reckoned to be part of the training process of equipping men and women to serve Christ.<\/p>

Our function is simply to add a theological and academic resource that few churches can viably provide, while leaving the practical training in ministry to the local pastor. Underlying the way in which we present our materials, and the kinds of assessment we employ, there is an educational philosophy based upon the following principles \u2013
Christian education must stand upon a strong theological foundation (cp. the injunctions and warnings about \u201csound doctrine\u201d in 1 Timothy 1:10; 4:13; 2 Timothy 4:3; 2 Peter 2:1-3; Jeremiah 6:16; 1 Corinthians 3:10-13; etc.).<\/p>

Students must be brought to know God, not just to learn about him, and the curriculum must be consciously structured to achieve that excellent end. The goal must be not just to impart knowledge, but rather to teach principles of sound interpretation, showing people how to do their own research, and how to apply truth to life. A final goal is the ultimate activation of men and women into effective Christian service, in any environment to which he or she may be called to minister.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
