Our Philosophy

AFMTC’s philosophy is rooted in Reproduction and a Christ-centered Trinitarian Worldview.

Reproduction

We see ourselves as stewards of leadership development, focusing not only on the present but on the generations to come. Our commitment to reproducing leaders aligns with the biblical principle of multi-generational impact.

Christ-Centered, Trinitarian Worldview

AFMTC’s Triune Worldview reflects a holistic approach to theological education, addressing internal, external, and transcendent realities.

Internal Reality
Faith

Faith at AFM Theological College is a dynamic force propelling individuals to intimately know God. It surpasses mere belief, fostering a transformative relationship with God. It represents unwavering trust in God’s promises, a commitment to living out biblical truths, and a catalyst for courageous action—a bedrock shaping every aspect of a Pentecostal worldview.

External Reality
Love

Love, at AFM Theological College, transcends sentimental feelings; it’s an active, sacrificial force addressing prevalent social pain. Grounded in the biblical command to love one another, our perspective on love transforms believers into agents of positive change. At AFMTC, love is not just an emotion; it’s a powerful commitment to making a tangible impact on individuals and communities, reflecting the compassionate heart of God.

Eternal Reality
Hope

Hope at AFMTC isn’t wishful thinking; it’s a strong assurance grounded in recognizing the brokenness of the world. It’s a confident expectation that, through Christ, positive change and redemption are not only possible but inevitable. Our emphasis on hope acknowledges the challenges individuals and communities face, coupled with the assurance that, with a Pentecostal perspective, believers can be instruments of transformation. Hope at AFMTC inspires believers to be beacons of light, providing real solutions and pathways to restoration in a world often shrouded in darkness.
