THE FACULTY
The American Theological Seminary faculty is comprised of professional ministers and professors of theology. Every full-time and adjunt professor has either a doctorate degree and/or a minimum of ten years of experience in his/her field. Many members of the faculty have published articles and books of great importance to all Christians.
We recognize that the faculty of any seminary is the Primary resource in the education process. Therefore, the Appointment and development of our professors have always been a key part of our institutional planning. Besides
demonstrated knowledge, attitude, and skills to guide our students, a prospective faculty must have a ministry passion that overflows with scholarship and enthusiasm. He is not to communicate head to head, but heart to heart. Finally, he must have the personality and creative ability to work closely
with other professors, administrators, and students to foster the family environment which has long been the hallmark of a ATS education.
