“As I reflect on my journey at Auckland Park Theological Seminary, I am grateful for the guidance, knowledge, and spiritual insights I have gained. The experience has not only deepened my understanding of theology but has also empowered me to engage with the world with a more profound sense of purpose and compassion. I appreciate their input in my life and I thank God for an institution that equips students through studying, researching and practicing Christ-centered, Bible-based theology.

“I appreciate the idea behind the use of Readers. Books are expensive. In fact, education is expensive. ATS however, graciously enabled me to enter into higher education that is affordable. When compared with other Theological Seminary schools, ATS is affordable and I appreciate this for those who have been chosen in this missionary work.” ~ Ngwako Cedrick Mamatlepa / 2023
