Founded in 1960 on the hills overlooking Beirut, the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary equips servant-leaders for the ministry challenges arising in the Middle East and North Africa – whether in theology, apologetics, communication, pastoral care, ethics, society, or culture. In many countries across North Africa and the Middle East, ABTS graduates are providing strategic leadership to the churche
s and growing communities of believers. ABTS currently caters to more than 200 men and women enrolled in one of the programs offered — a one-year Certificate in Ministry, a four-year Bachelor of Theology, and a two-year Master of Religion. Our students come from various evangelical denominations and countries in MENA region and beyond. With over 25,000 titles in our library, 10,000 of which are in the Arabic language, our students have access to extensive theological resources. Alongside our degree programs, ABTS pursues its mission through various non degree programs that include an annual Middle East Consultation, a weekly blog at IMES.blog, and Peacemaking.
