MISSION
Being the center for theological and ecclesial formation, the College of Theology is committed to an evangelical, holistic, theological education which embraces a process of learning: to know, to do, to live together, and to be in the context of servanthood for sustainable development.
OBJECTIVES
- To prepare students and church workers as agents of personal ecclesial, and social transformation through theoretical grinding and field exposure;
- to provide evangelical and apostolic theological underpinnings that are broad, interdisciplinary, biblical and theologically sound;
- to infuse students and church workers with a culture of a scholarly theological type of learning that contributes to reconciliation in society, especially between and among the Tri-people communities in Mindanao which include Muslims, Indigenous Peoples, and Christians;
- to inculcate and practice the virtues of caring, sharing and cooperation through action-reflection-action using the service-learning paradigm;
- to create a venue for theological education in which the culture of research, consultations, theological discussions, dialogue and exchange programs among faculty and students may be enhanced; and
- to expose students and church workers to a climate of ecumenical learning and dialogue in the local context as baseline formation in relation to other contexts.
