Mission
The mission of EAST is to develop and equip Christian leaders for the fulfilment of the Great Commission in East Asia and around the world. EAST seeks to develop spiritual leaders who are:
- Committed to growing in Christ-likeness
- Passionate spiritual multipliers
- Learning and living out God’s Word
- Communicating God’s truth effectively
Vision
To help transform East Asia through mobilizing lifetime labourers and sending cross-cultural missionaries to the world by:
- Being people who truly follow Jesus
- Boldly proclaiming Jesus
- Making disciples
- Multiplying Christ-centred leaders and spiritual movements
Values
EAST seeks to accomplish this mission through holistic learning, where students not only learn intellectually in their head (‘know”), but their attitudes and character are also shaped in their heart (“be”), leading to actions by their hands (“do”). Each of the three dimensions is emphasized in the classroom and assignments as well as field ministry and internships, school retreat, ministry weekend, community life, and Mentoring Groups.
EAST is committed to be a theological school of excellence that develops biblically grounded leaders of spiritual movements for the global harvest.
