Our Mission

At the International Theological Accreditation Association (ITAA), our purpose is to ensure that institutions offering theological education uphold and promote excellence in both academic rigor and spiritual formation. We believe that theological education should not only impart knowledge but also transform lives through the power of the Gospel, enabling students to become Christ-centered leaders in ministry and beyond.

What We Do

ITAA exists to serve Bible colleges, seminaries, and Christian universities around the world, providing them with a robust accreditation process designed to maintain biblical fidelity, academic excellence, and spiritual vitality. By partnering with ITAA, institutions can ensure that their programs are biblically sound and aligned with global standards for theological education.

Our Core Values

• Biblical Faithfulness: We ensure that every institution we accredit holds fast to the unchanging truth of Scripture, teaching sound doctrine and preparing students for ministry in accordance with biblical standards.
• Academic Excellence: We maintain high academic standards for theological institutions, ensuring that programs develop critical thinking, theological depth, and practical ministry skills.
• Spiritual Formation: Beyond academic knowledge, we emphasize the importance of spiritual maturity, cultivating personal holiness, and a passion for the Great Commission.
• Global Community: We unite institutions worldwide, fostering a sense of shared purpose in advancing the Kingdom of God through education and ministry training.

Our Vision

Our vision is to see a global network of Christian educational institutions that prepare individuals for service in ministry, missions, and the marketplace. We seek to empower institutions to develop leaders who will advance the Gospel and make disciples of all nations.

This is done through: 

• Faith-Driven Accreditation: We are committed to Christ-centered education and ensure that accredited institutions share this commitment.
• Rigorous Standards: Our accreditation process is designed to ensure that institutions meet high academic and theological standards while remaining accessible to students.
• Non-Profit Organization: As a non-profit, ITAA exists to serve the global Christian community, not for financial gain.
