Training pastors and leaders in God's Word to serve His Church and glorify His Name.

"I'm honored to have been involved with ATS since its beginning. I appreciate the rigorous study of Scriptures, sound theology, mentoring, experience in ministry, and the care for students that ATS is intentional to provide."

- Dr. Preston Pearce

"Not only did ATS give me a great foundation in theological education and practical ministry experience, it provided me with invaluable tools to pursue loving God with all my heart, soul, and mind."

- Dave Pike, ATS '22 graduate

“ATS is a unique educational experience. Rooted in a rigorous commitment to the local church, the students read top-tier evangelical scholarship and interact with historical and contemporary ideas. I am always reinvigorated after teaching there."

- Dr. Jeff Mooney, professor of Old Testament at California Baptist University 

“After two years of studying at ATS, I can affirm that though it was challenging – as it should be – it was all worth it. Teachers first of all want to interview their students with a purpose and goal in their minds. Then they give us some deep reading with various kinds of reading that will carry with you and teach you to read widely. They value fellowship in the form of meals together and occasional social evenings. They will not only focus on teaching us as intellectuals but as sinners, as human beings who need character development. All that, while becoming our friends and father-like mentors. ATS gives you knowledge, tools, wisdom, sanctification, and community. After that, your life of study will continue, but with eternal tools, I dare to say. ATS wants to give God all the glory and to raise workers for His fields. ATS is full of faith and thus it is pleasant to be there with faith in our Lord Jesus Christ."  

- Matti Itkonen, ATS '24 graduate

“This seminary has helped me to understand well the overall message of the Bible and to see how the whole Bible is the Word of God. The school was not only focused on increasing theological knowledge but also on the students’ character forming in order for them to be serving as pastors wherever they are. The school’s emphasis on independent working helped me in my future work as a pastor, which itself requires a tremendous amount of self-directed work and preparation for church meetings. I am grateful to the Lord that this seminary exists for the well-being of Christ’s Church.”

"Agricola Theological Seminary offers a wide range of theological education with the aim of equipping especially pastors and local churches for the work of the Gospel. Through expert teaching (including guest lecturers) and rich theological literature, the students will gain an in-depth understanding of systematic theology, biblical theology, church history, exegesis, biblical languages, missionary work, as well as personal spiritual growth in Christ. My studies at ATS have had a significant impact on my own ministry and understanding of God's Word. I can warmly recommend the seminar to anyone who wants to grow both in their holistic understanding of the scriptures and in their communication."

- Eelis Halmemies, current ATS student
