We have sought to explain ARTS’s mission, vision, values and commitment to our Reformed heritage, theology, calling and confidence. We hope you will want to learn more. We hope you will consider joining our learning community that seeks to prepare men and women to serve King Jesus on His earth, as His white-hot worshippers.
The leaders of the Reformation were men and women of faith, courage, great conviction and prayer even in the face of great opposition. They wisely formulated their understanding of Scripture into balanced theological statements in the Reformed confessions of the 16th and 17th centuries. They were used by God to lead one of history’s greatest revivals and movements of the gospel. We gladly stand with our Reformation forefathers as the heralds of the biblical and Reformed faith. But these men and women also had great humility. They believed that the church must be “reformed and always reforming.” We at ARTS want to have similar humility and like courageous conviction. The needs of our world and the condition of the church in our day call for such. We must continually seek to apply the unchanging principles and truths of Scripture to our ever-changing world. We must seek to engage our modern world and especially the needs of Africa with the same love for Christ, submission to God’s Word, humility, courage, zeal and boldness that characterized our Reformation ancestors. We invite you to join us in this mission and quest.
We at ARTS believe that the need of the hour is reformation and revival in Africa and world-wide. God’s method is to raise up holy, humble and prayerful pastors and church leaders of great courage, compassion, biblical conviction and confidence. The best way to equip and prepare our students to become this kind of people and leader is to help them sink their teeth into and to grow their own roots deep into the heritage, theology, calling, boldness and prayerfulness of the biblical and Reformation faith.
