Membership

Membership in the Association is open to institutions regularly engaged in training for Christian ministry and involved in theological education in Southeast Asia such as research and study center, lay training institutes, and theological education by extension centers.

Regular membership is open to the aforementioned institutions which are located within the Southeast Asia Region and participate actively in the programs of the association. Associate membership is open to institutions regularly engaged in training for Christian ministry outside of the Southeast Asia region which actively seek the help, and may contribute to the work of the association.

Affiliate membership is open to institutions regularly engaged in training for Christian Ministry outside of the Southeast Asia region who purposely seek membership for fellowship with the member schools of the Association without being committed to participating actively in its programs.

Application for membership is made to the Executive Director who will submit to the Membership Commission which shall act on such application subject to the confirmation of the Board of Trustees or the General Assembly.

Each member shall pay annual dues as prescribed by the General Assembly, attend the sessions of the General Assembly, and participate in regional, sub-regional, area, or national consultations when invited.
