The World Association of Theological Seminaries is dedicated to strengthening the capabilities of theology students in each region through practical and high-quality educational support. We help cultivate the competencies necessary for ministry by providing systematic programs, expert-led lectures, and clear learning paths. Based on integrity, academic excellence, and continuous development, we support individuals and organizations in achieving substantial growth.
Looking back with gratitude on the journey of the World Association of Theological Seminaries (WATS) as it was established and grew over the past three years by God's grace, we renew our commitment to our future mission. WATS aims to cultivate local spiritual leaders firmly grounded in biblical, Reformed, and evangelical theology, and to assist in the proper propagation of the Gospel within every country and culture. To this end, we have pursued cooperation with local seminaries, pastoral training, online seminary ministry, textbook translation, curriculum development, and the establishment of learning systems. Furthermore, emphasizing that the essence of the Gospel and the cultivation of true disciples are more important than organizational growth, we hope to continue to be instruments used by God in the field of global missions, based on humility, unity, prayer, and professionalism.
Representative's Sermon
Those who live by the Gospel must live like Jesus.
While true love and a righteous life cannot be lived by human strength alone, we can live according to the heart and will of Jesus when the Holy Spirit dwells within us. Living like Jesus means, first, living a life of a temple that acknowledges God as the head, following God's will rather than one's own. Second, living a 24-hour Immanuel life—that is, walking with God in any situation, listening to His Word, and obeying Him. Third, living as the church—meaning living not as a building, but as a member of one body with Jesus as the head. Fourth, it emphasizes the mission of being a spiritual matchmaker, that is, leading lost souls to Jesus. Finally, just as Jesus served as a servant while being a King, we too must prepare for the Kingdom of God through a life of service and sacrifice. Those who live by the Gospel must become more like Jesus and live a life that fulfills His will.
