Our mission as Arab Baptist Theological Seminary is to serve the Church in our region as it realizes its Biblical mission of having Christ acknowledged as Lord by offering specialized learning resources and equipping faithful men and women for effective service.

Alongside our on-campus courses, the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary's Institute of Middle East Studies (IMES) seeks to increase general awareness about Middle East realities. IMES' mandate is to bring about positive transformation in thinking and practice between inter-faith groups in Lebanon and beyond.

Effective Fall 2012, IMES will be offering a Master of Religion in Middle Eastern and North African Studies. For more information contact IMES@abtslebanon.org

The publishing of theological textbooks in the Arabic language is another avenue through which ABTS seeks to serve the Church and community.
