面对中国社会的深刻变迁以及全球化的加速，中国教会迫切需要新一代有清晰使命和全球视野，并受过良好神学训练的牧者、学者与文化宣教士。而在北美，随着中国移民的剧增和国语教会的快速发展，对理解大陆移民处境并有效牧养这一群体的传道人需求越来越大。蒙主呼召，为回应这一需求，一群大陆背景的北美神学院毕业生、牧者和基督徒学者依托西三一大学神学研究院的平台建立了中文神学部，旨在将最优秀的神学资源与中国教会及北美国语教会的处境联结，为神国培养一大批灵命成熟、学术严谨、视野宽广的领袖人才，并为中华神学的发展和宣教事工作出关键性推动。
The rise of Chinese Christianity with its growing significance for the global church creates an urgent need for a new generation of Christian leaders and educators who are not only theologically equipped but have a clear vision and a global calling for the Chinese Church. By integrating the best theological scholarship with the context, needs and mission of Chinese churches, the Mandarin program at ACTS Seminaries offers world-class theological education in Mandarin for Christians who are to become shapers and shakers of Chinese churches and world Christianity.
The Master of Arts - Christian Studies (Mandarin) program aims to raise up pastors, lay leaders, theological educators and cultural missionaries who understand the context and needs of Chinese churches. The program is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools (ATS). Our core values include:
西三一大学神学研究院中文神学课程拥有ATS (北美神学院联盟)认证，其核心价值包括：
Spiritual Formation: deepening a personal commitment to and relationship with Christ will be at the core of the educational experience 灵命塑造：培育属灵生命与建造属灵品格是本项目最核心的教育目标
Academic Rigor: students will be equipped not only with biblical knowledge but the ability to think critically and theologically 学术严谨：不仅在知识上装备学生，更培养他们独立的神学思考能力
Missional Mind: students will be committed to the Chinese church and its global mission 宣教意识：委身中国和海外国语教会，同时积极推进普世宣教的事工
The Master of Arts - Christian Studies (Mandarin) degree is granted co-jointly by Trinity Western University and one of the seminaries of the ACTS Consortium. TWU is a leading Canadian Christian university, known for its high quality of education and evangelical stance. It is a recognized educational institution by the Chinese government.

Biblical Studies
Biblical Studies will provide you with a strong foundation for ministry and personal faith by refining your knowledge of the Scriptures.
Church History
Church history examines what Christians at different times and in different places around the world believed about God, the Gospel and the Christian life, so that we can live in faithful obedience to the gospel today.
Church Ministries
Church Ministries helps develop your understanding of the educational ministry of the church along with the practical skills required for effective leadership of educational ministries to children, youth and adults.
Leadership
Effective leadership requires wisdom, knowledge and humility to lead wherever God has called, whether in full-time church ministry or leadership in the marketplace and community.
Pastoral Ministry
Pastoral Ministry courses are designed to equip you with a philosophy of ministry as well as practical skills in the major areas of pastoral ministry - preaching, pastoral care and leadership.
Theological Studies
Theology is what Christians believe about God, salvation and the nature of reality, which makes every Christian a theologian. By engaging with current and historical theological issues, you will see more clearly how your beliefs impact both your day-to-day life and the major social and cultural issues in the world today.
