CGST was begun with the commitment to train men and women to be masters of the Scriptures. These twin cornerstone degrees prepare the student to clearly understand the Bible in the original languages. They master New Testament Greek as well as have an adequate introduction to Hebrew. In addition they study systematic theology and appropriate and culturally relevant interpretation methods for the Scriptures.
Students are exposed to counseling subjects to prepare them for pastoral ministry as well as educational foundations and speech techniques to insure their clear communication of the truths they discern from the Bible.
Our faculty include a mixture of Filipino and American professors all of whom have local ministry experience as well as advanced academic and professional training.
Note: Students for M.Div. and M.A./Theology degrees must have completed a minimum of 24 units of Bible and/or Religious Studies subjects at the bachelor’s level. Students who have not met these academic prerequisites in Bible or education take an additional twelve (12) ministry-related or education units at CGST.
