Ministry: Asia Biblical Theological Seminary (ABTS)
"I have known Greg and Rachel for over two decades, and have been able to watch them serve the Lord in full time ministry, both in Asia and in the US. As a couple, they are not only gifted in scholarship, teaching, service, and hospitality, but they are also passionate about spreading the Good News of Christ’s salvation throughout the vast continent of Asia. We are excited to have Greg and Rachel working with Asia Biblical Theological Seminary."

Education that Comes to Students
Asia Biblical Theological Seminary (ABTS) specializes in US-accredited masters level theological education for pastors, lay leaders, Christian educators, and missionaries in Asia. All of our degree programs are part-time, consisting of a combination of online learning with condensed face-to-face modules in select cities throughout Asia. Without a residency requirement, students already in ministry are able to earn their master’s degree without leaving their ministries or, in many cases, their home countries. ABTS exists equip leaders IN the field, FOR the field.
Accessible
Tuition levels for all ABTS courses have been adjusted to fit the varied economies of Asian countries and subsidized by donor gifts from partners of ABTS. All of the full-time professors with ABTS are also supported missionaries in order to keep costs low for our students. Greg's salary is 100% funded by our financial partners' giving, not from students' tuition.
Affordable
Courses are taught by qualified American and Asian adjunct professors, as well as residential missionary educators. ABTS’s curriculum has been designed with rich insight and contextualized perspective to best meet the needs of the church in Asia. ABTS offers U.S.-accredited degrees through Cornerstone University located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States of America. At the same time, ABTS is firmly planted in Southeast Asia with our office in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This combination of East Meets West, with professors from around the world, brings a truly global perspective to the classroom.
