Keeping You Connected
Day of Renewal
On Tuesday, September 25th, AGTS will fast from work and classes to seek God. Alumni are invited to attend the chapel services or listen live online.
Guest speaker, Les Welk ('08) serves as the superintendent of the Northwest Ministry Network of the AG. He assumed this position on July 1, 2002 after serving as the assistant superintendent for 7 years. His love and concern for the churches and pastors of the Network serves him well for this post.
Superintendent Welk currently holds the position as Chairman of the Board of Directors for Northwest University. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Alliance for AG Higher Education as well as the task force to increase younger credentialed ministers and is a member of the General Council's General Presbytery.
All services will be available on live internet audio by accessing our website. Tune in on September 25th at 9:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 6:30 p.m. |

Busiest summer at AGTS underscores need for building renovation
 For most schools, summer is a time to slow down, regroup and catch a collective breath. NOT at AGTS! Our faculty and staff attended to 16 doctoral modules, 17 master's classes, intensive biblical language programs, a two-week church business administrator certification program, global missions sessions and the first Institute of Islamic Studies (held in response to great interest by cross-cultural workers across the nation).
We are grateful to God for the many opportunities we've had this summer, and all year long, to contribute to the preparation of men and women he has called. We relish the fact that these facilities, having been dedicated to God for his purposes, are in use from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. six days a week.
This high level of building usage has, however, taken a toll on the building itself over the last 15 years. Its upkeep will require funds above the seminary's usual budgeted resources. For this reason, AGTS has initiated the R.O.I. Campaign (Renovate, Optimize, Invest). Click here to find out how you can help AGTS not only maintain but grow its commitment to shape servant leaders with knowledge, skill and passion to revitalize the church and evangelize the world in the power of the Spirit.
