Welcome to ITE-Net
Serving Global Associates for Transformational Education
ITE-Net is a web-based forum for Christian Theological Educators in all parts of the world.
Our Motive: The rapidly growing church around the world needs culturally appropriate and economically sustainable models of theological education that can equip adequate numbers of ministry leaders to guide the church toward Biblical wisdom and godly service of Christ.
Our Mission: To be catalysts for partnership and change in ministry leadership development in and with the worldwide church.
Our Commitment: The end of theological education is godly service of Christ. Information has instrumental import. The theological educator's task is to facilitate growth, from understanding to obedience to integration of truth in life and ministry.
Our Stance: We are evangelical Christians, committed to the authority of the Scriptures in life and doctrine. We understand the Scriptures to teach that there is one, trinitarian God, and that every human is lost and eternally doomed apart from faith in Jesus Christ in response to the gospel proclamation. We are passionately committed to a life of personal holiness and world evangelization.
Our Strategy: To network like-minded educators who will share insights and methods for catalyzing change in international theological education through personal example and professional engagement. Our website provides a nexus for seminal articles and reviews, and for reflective interchange in password-accesible chat rooms and forums. We encourage collegial ministries, consultations, and nonformal seminars on issues in international theological education.
