APTS seeks to foster a learning environment wherein faculty and students comprise a community of scholars dedicated to the pursuit of truth within the Evangelical and Pentecostal/Charismatic traditions. Many activities bring faculty and students together for fellowship, discussion, spiritual enrichment, and ministry. APTS is dedicated to providing both rigorous academic programs and an atmosphere conducive to the spiritual and ministry development of every member of its community.
Learning doesn’t stop in the classroom. Our residential campus is a place where faith and learning intersect in worship, study, work, and play. Students pray together, enjoy meal\ together, and minister to each other and to the community.
Our students bring an array of perspectives on theology, faith, and Christian life. They reflect many denominations, ethnic backgrounds and cultures. Living and learning in this diverse community, prepares students for Christian leadership in theologically and culturally diverse environments.
Recreation is a big part of APTS. Both students and faculty alike participate in various sports to divert from all the hectic study week. From basketball, soccer, table tennis, badminton, racketball to volleyball, the campus has facilities to satisfy the preferences of our students. Looking for a laid back atmosphere? The student lounge, also known as the Coffee Bar is the hangout place for students. A place that doesn’t only provide snacks & refreshments but also a cozy ambiance for short breaks from classes, study, and recreation.
APTS encourages students to experience a deeper and more dynamic spiritual development as part of their seminary life. Regular chapel services, a Spiritual Emphasis Week, Selah Nights, small group sessions, and local church involvement forms an essential part of this process.
The Chapel Service is an integral part of the APTS community and probably the most effective measure of one’s spiritual life on campus. It provides a balance between the Pentecostal identity against the academic and scholarly identity of campus life.
The Seminary community—students, faculty, and staff—gather in Husrt Chapel three times a week, from 11:20am to 12:30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thrusdays. The faculty and students take turns on preaching the word. We welcome you to join the APTS chapel services anytime you are around in the Baguio area.
On Fridays, the community gathers in different small groups hosted by various members of the faculty. These informal gatherings are designed to be times of fellowship, fun, prayer, and sharing of cultural views and personal testimonies. In other words, it’s pretty much the best & long-awaited time of the week for students. Faculty members host these gatherings to nurture interpersonal relationships and build community spirit among students & the faculty.
