Organizations Filed Purposes:
The mission of the Association is to promote the improvement and enhancement of theological schools in the United States and Canada for the benefit of communities of faith and the broader public.
Leadership Education for Theological Educators - The purpose of this program is to improve theological schools by enhancing the skills of their leaders. Through a program of targeted events, the program reaches administrative leaders and faculty in a range of administrative functions and experience levels. The program serves the administrators and faculty of 270+ member schools of the Association. The program is funded by tuition and fees from participants and a foundation grant.
Educational Models and Practices - The project seeks to engage ATS member schools in assessing current and developing educational modals and practices of theological education, identifying the most promising aspects of these models for the education and formation of theological leaders, and establishing the normative acceptance of these models in the work of the Association and its related ATS Commission on Accrediting. The project is funded solely by a foundation grant.
Economic Challenges Facing Future Ministers - The project coordinates the efforts of member schools to imagine and implement new strategies for lessening the financial burdens of students attending seminary, create and/or strengthen educational programs that better prepare future leaders to manage personal, family, and congregational finances, and initiate or enhance partnerships that address these circumstances for the good of theological education and future of faithful ministry. The project is funded solely by a foundation grant.
