Seminary

AGTS reignites leaders already executing the Great Commission and infuses them with global context, spiritual growth, and imagery from the Holy Spirit, just like in the early days following the upper room experience. AGTS serves to stand in the gap between a generation reaching for something more and a God intent on touching a world slipping into relativism. Simply stated, AGTS is “Knowledge on Fire.” If it’s not on fire, then it’s not Spirit-driven and if it’s not Spirit-driven, then it’s not AGTS.
