Integrated formation of knowledge, character, and ministry
PTEE's educational philosophy
The four educational goals and six principles that shape the Theological Education by Extension curriculum, as explained in the academic manual.
Forming leaders who serve locally
The four educational goals
To become a man or woman of God through spiritual growth and personal development
To interpret the word of truth accurately through a deep relationship with and understanding of Scripture
To gain the competencies and skills needed for ministry
To be a citizen with balanced social awareness who understands their role in society
The six principles
Educating leaders where they are: where students live, work, and serve
A curriculum that meets the needs of local churches, their leaders, and their communities
High-quality interactive self-study materials
A weekly group meeting throughout the course
The facilitator guides learning rather than lecturing in the traditional way
Supervised practical ministry that connects knowledge with application
One integrated system
Together, the six principles produce student-centered theological education that connects learning with the formation of a servant character. The manual presents this model as suited to local realities and strategically important for the future of the church in the Arab world and the diaspora.
