Arab Baptist Theological Seminary

Welcome to Arab Baptist Theological Seminary

Founded in 1960 in the hills overlooking Beirut, the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary (ABTS) equips servant-leaders for the ministry challenges arising in the Middle East and North Africa – be it theology, apologetics, communication, pastoral care, ethics, society, or culture. To serve the Church in our region as it realizes its Biblical mission of having Christ acknowledged as Lord by offering specialized learning resources and equipping faithful men and women for effective service. Our degrees range from an online Certificate in Ministry in to a Master of Theology that will be launched in Sept 2022. We also have a Master of Religion (MRel) in Middle Eastern and North African Studies that is administered online with two on-campus residencies per year in Lebanon. All programs are taught in Arabic except for the MRel which is taught in English.
