About Us

Mission Statement

We are committed to equipping men and women of God both academically and spiritually to minister effectively within the church and the world. The foundation of the school is the belief in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. He is the only way to the Father and the Holy Spirit is the believer’s power and guide that will lead them into all Truth.

About Our School

This theological school is designed for those who are actively involved in church ministry as well as those who want a more in-depth study of the Bible and other theological studies. The courses are designed to be intensive and comprehensive. The students will be exposed to the academic side of theology while they will also be guided in the practical application within the ministry. This school is not sectarian in its approach. The school’s aim is to equip the students with the knowledge that will assist them in fulfilling their divine assignments for the Kingdom of God.

The school is accredited through N.A.A.T.S. (National Accrediting Association of Theological Schools). This is an independent ministry accreditation. It is our endeavor to remain focused on ministry exclusively, therefore there are no liberal arts courses offered. All coursework is centered around high quality academic theological training. This accreditation has been granted based upon the classes that are offered meeting the requirements for the various degrees that the institution confers. This institution’s accreditation is not a Regional accreditation and credits may not be accepted by other institutions that have such accreditation. High-quality instruction is the goal. Many who seek theological instruction want to increase their spiritual productivity and usefulness. A Regionally accredited degree might not be required for every person’s ministry assignment. Therefore, Clement of Alexandria Theological Academy is offering an affordable yet academically challenging opportunity for you to be trained for 21st-century ministry.
