Why Choose UTI?

We all need equipping, no matter what kind of ministry God calls us to. We need effective skills in relating to others and in the give-and-take of good interpersonal communication. We need skills in demonstrating and receiving love and respect, and in forming healthy relationships. We need to learn how to lead and serve effectively. 

We need guidance on how to form and equip others for ministry, with integrity. Bible and theological institutions can equip us to disciple ourselves and others and to develop a culture of discipleship in our ministries. They can help us lead change and transition, and manage and resolve conflict. They can expose us to the skills of servant leadership. They can help us learn how to develop the next generation of leaders, who can likewise build up and develop others. 

For those of us going into pastoral and other church-based ministries, Bible and theological colleges can also equip us with vital skills. These include leading change and transition, and resolving conflict. They include church planting, pioneering new initiatives, and revitalizing established churches. Other skills include developing multicultural ministries, serving among ethnic and cultural diversity, and empowering youth and children’s work. We can learn to be skillful at preaching and teaching, and at pastoral care and the compassionate support of others. 

Bible and theological colleges are a great place to go and get equipped for ministry and service. UTI is for anyone who has a passion to grow both spiritually and academically – in their understanding of the Christian gospel, in their ministry skills, and in personal formation. Our graduands will serve around the world, whether alongside their professional work or in full time ministry as pastors, gospel workers, missionaries, evangelists, church planters, women’s workers, scholars and youth and children’s workers.
