On an academic level, we at ACPL try hard to not make it just an educational institution. We labor hard to make it as a community—a community of people committed to one overriding vision: a vision of loving God by passionately discipling the nations (ethne) through churches. It is also a community of people committed to one passion: that of serving God through his church and by making churches become reproductive.

The church today exists in a complex and rapidly changing world. As such, we at ACPL are compelled to take that world seriously as we prepare students for ministry. This requires a disciplined commitment to the understanding of the Scriptures and their implications for the world today, a vibrant spiritual life, and an unashamed commitment to richness of our culture and tradition.
