What Makes ABTS NEW DELHI Unique?

There are four areas which we think make us Unique.

1.   BIBLE EXPOSITION - We believe that the Bible properly taught and applied, is the foundation and superstructure of any God-honoring ministry.  As a result we emphasize both systematic Bible exposition based on original languages ( Greek & Hebrew), and culturally relevant application based upon the exegesis of the Scripture.

2.   CHRIST-LIKENESS - Mere knowledge of God's Word leads to pride, hypocrisy and legalism.  We are concerned that our students not only learn God's Word, but that they learn to obey and grow in Christ-likeness.  A key component of building up our students into Christ- likeness is our student-professor relationships by which we seek to set examples for the students and impart to them not only our teaching, but also our lives.

3.   LOCAL CHURCH MINISTRY - We believe that the church is the only institution set up by Christ to accomplish His purpose on earth.  As a result, we have a strong emphasis on local church ministry.  All our faculty members, has a passion for and experience in local church ministry.  Our desire as a seminary is to assist the local churches of South Asia.

4. NON-DENOMINATIONAL APPROACH OF BIBLE STUDY- The term   “Apostolic" in our name simply means, "Pertaining to the teachings of the Apostles". We believe everything   that Jesus preached, taught and revealed in the scriptures by them. The theology of ABTS is free of denominational creeds and dogmas. This approach exposes bible students to a wide variety of religious sciences in their quest for the truth of God's word. We believe, when a person lays everything aside denominational creeds, dogmas and independently studies the Word of God without all the preconceived ideas, opinions, denominational, religious creeds, traditions, etc., God will unfold His Glorious Truth in its entirety to them.

Objectives of Apostolic Biblical Theological Seminary (ABTS) New Delhi:

 To develop men and women who are able to effectively evangelize those who  do not know Jesus Christ, and who are prepared to disciple saints through their teaching, counseling and caring.

 To serve as a scholarly resource for the exploration and proclamation of the Christian faith.

 To proactively explore the needs of an ever-changing world, working to develop innovative ministries that effectively proclaim the gospel of our Lord Jesus, while preserving apostolic doctrine and practice for future generations.

 To provide Continuing Education for Pastors, Evangelists, Bible Teachers and Christian Leaders.

 To Equip Professionals, Businessmen/women & Lay Leaders for Ministry.

 To impart Revelation, the knowledge of God’s Word and the hidden wisdom of God.

Mission Statement of ABTS New Delhi:-

Under the lordship of Jesus Christ, the mission of The ABTS New Delhi, is to be totally committed to the Bible as the Word of God, to the Great Commission as our mandate, and to be a servant of the LORD JESUS CHRIST by training, educating, and preparing ministers of the full Gospel for more faithful Service.

The  ABTS  will assist Christian local churches by nurturing students for effective ministry by emphasizing sound biblical exposition and growth in Christ-likeness which will encourage faithful men towards pastoral ministries.

Our Core Values:

Holding to our  Apostolic Doctrine as it faithfully represents God's Word for the world; we at ABTS further emphasize the followings:

 We value the authority of Scripture, the inspiration of the Bible and its authority over every aspect of life. We believe that the truth is absolute and that it is inerrantly recorded in the Holy Scriptures (KJV). The sixty-six books of the Christian Protestant Bible are our authority. We read them at face value and apply them to our lives as individuals and as an institution. The authority of Scripture is our primary value (2Timothy 3:16-17).

  We value the supremacy of Jesus Christ. Because Jesus is God (John 1:3; John 20:28), we are committed to knowing, worshiping, and following Him, our resurrected King, our God and Savior. We are equally committed to the supremacy of His purpose to disciple the nations. Jesus Christ Himself is the truth; He is the standard and value of all things (Colossians 1:17; 3:1-17; Hebrews 13:8). Our curriculum, policies, and programs of study reflect the supremacy of Jesus Christ (Col 2:9-10). 

  We value educational integrity. Because we are committed to the authority of Scripture, we also are committed to do all things for God’s glory. 

 We value expository preaching and teaching, spiritual formational, active participation in the ministry of the local church and cultural engagement.
