Asia Pacific Theological Seminary (APTS) is a theological seminary in Baguio, Philippines, operated by the Assemblies of God.[1]
APTS is part of Asia Graduate School of Theology, a consortium of evangelical theological seminaries established by the ATA in 1984 to enable member seminaries to offer higher degrees.[2] According to Wonsuk and Julie Ma, APTS is a "well-respected institution, not only among Evangelicals, but also mainline churches".[3] In conjunction with the Asian Pentecostal Society, APTS publishes the Asian Journal of Pentecostal Studies.
