Christian Theology Training Centre
Excellence Through Knoweldge
WHO WE ARE
Christian Theology Training Centre – is a new and exciting online school, open to anyone from any country in the world. We are simple, Scriptural, and Christ-centered.
Our curriculum and subjects are Bible-based and Spirit-led. Testing will not be done with an academic mind only, but rather with content in mind. We are not concerned only by how you answer, but our concern is with what you have learned.
A proper understanding of the Bible, the Gospel of Jesus, and the Christian faith, is guaranteed.
Christian Theology Training Centre – will enable you to spiritually grow, be an affective leader, be ordained, or even successfully pastor a church.
OUR PURPOSE IS TWO-FOLD
To train those who are called & teach them what they need to know to be effective ministers, leaders, or pastors.
To spiritually enrich those who want to know more about the Bible.
EXCELLENCE THROUGH KNOWLEDGE
Our vision is to teach the rightly divided Word of God, to reform the church and to prevent another generation to grow up in bondage.
OUR MISSION
To Equip All Believers
“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. ” – Ephesians 4: 11 – 16

A word from our Principal
Some believers have argued that as long as they have a Bible and the Holy Spirit, that is enough to equip him/her.
After all, the disciples did not go to Bible School, did they? These arguments and kind of reasoning has become almost absolute these days as more and more people have come to realize that in an age where the congregation is more intellectually astute (and more critical), and where Christianity has become subjected to the attacks of secular ideologies much more intensively, it is non-negotiable that Christians are able to understand and clearly defend the core doctrines of the faith from a biblical perspective. To do that they need to be properly equipped by specialists in this area.
The question is, how do I choose the best learning institution? Depending on personal needs, you need to ask yourself; do I want to be academically or more theological? Theology is focused on how we do what we believe. Does the curriculum have a strong evangelical and biblically-based approach? Are its fees affordable? Does it uphold standards of excellence in its curriculum and service-delivery? Answering these questions can assist you greatly.
We believe that in the case of CTTC the answer to all these questions is a resounding YES! But, in addition, we have the added advantage that we offer our program completely online. This means that our students do not have to leave their homes or ministries to attend expensive institutions. Because of this we can offer much lower fees for our students, without sacrificing our excellent standards.
In short, we believe Christian Theology Training Centre offers everything that is needed to train and equip pastors and Christian leaders around the world and offers those Christians who simply want a solid foundation for the faith, all they need to do so.
We look forward to having you as our student.
