  • 2018 Baccalaureate 45Th Commencement Celebration
    2018 Baccalaureate 45th Commencement Celebration Thursday, May 3, 2018 12 Noon William J. Seymour Chapel at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary 1435 N. Glenstone Avenue, Springfield, Missouri Baccalaureate Program accalaureate at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary (AGTS) Backnowledges several streams of influence. The medieval academic tradition is part of the seminary culture, so there are measures of formality: robes that reflect various academic disciplines and certain ceremonial dimensions that are integral to this event. AGTS is firmly rooted in the Pentecostal faith tradition. We affirm worship that is celebratory and vibrant, and we welcome the dynamics of the Holy Spirit in our congregational life. We are committed to the redemptive ministry of Jesus Christ that is empowered by the Holy Spirit. These elements of the Pentecostal tradition are also integral to the AGTS baccalaureate. AGTS is committed to thoroughness in graduate theological education. Ceremonial dimensions of this event acknowledge our graduates’ significant achievements in study. The celebratory dimensions demonstrate our belief that today’s graduates are people of destiny in God’s eternal plan of redemption. *PRELUDE AND PROCESSIONAL INVOCATION AND WELCOME RENÉE GRIFFITH CAROL A.

  • The Christian College As a Source of Students for Selected Theological Seminaries
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 051 768 HE 002 272 AUTHOR Seaton, Craig E. TITLE The Christian College as a Source of Students for Selected Theological Seminaries. INSTITUTION Biola Coll., La Mirada, Calif. PUB DATE Dec 70 NOTE 19p. ERRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *Church Related Colleges, *College Graduates, *Enrollment Trends, *Theological Education ABSTRACT To determine the extent to which the Christian colleges serve as a source of students for selected theological seminaries in the United States, seminary catalogs with student rosters were obtained from 11 seminaries. Those included were: Gordon, Grace, Dallas, Fuller, Western Baptist, Talbot, Trinity, Eastern Baptist, Calvin, Princeton, and Bethel. The findings indicated that:(1) Christian college graduates tended to attend seminary within the same geographic region as their undergraduate college, though Princeton and Dallas drew their students from all areas of the country; (2) Christian colleges affiliated with seminaries tended to be the greatest source of Christian college graduates for that seminary;(3) Bible colleges produced a surprisingly high percentage of the total enrollment of the seminaries;(4) several seminaries received a substantial percentage (over 30 percent) of their students from the public sector; and (5) Christian colleges supplied 43 percent of the seminarians to these seminaries.
