About APTA

Welcome to the APTA Website!

Asia Pacific Theological Association (APTA) was established as a result of the expressed desires of the Assemblies of God Bible schools in the Asia Pacific region.

This Association is a cooperative effort among these and other Pentecostal/ Charismatic schools in the region who embrace the Association’s purposes, to provide assistance in the development and effectiveness of their ministry training programs.
