Consortiums
Building Global Networks for Theological Education
We believe that collaboration is key to transforming theological education worldwide. Our consortiums bring together higher education institutions—schools united by a shared language and a common mission—across different regions of the world. These networks, associations, and strategic alliances are designed to strengthen theological education, equipping the next generation of theological educators, missionaries, pastors, and church leaders to serve with excellence.
Through our consortiums, schools transcend geographical boundaries to share resources, expertise, and vision. Together, we foster academic rigor, mutual support, and innovation, ensuring that theological education thrives in every corner of the globe.
