Are you a charitable organisation?

TTA is made up of volunteers. Our desire is to make theology affordable, accessible and achievable for anyone who would like to study it. By providing this opportunity we which therefore to pursue two main objectives. Firstly, that the study of theology within, a missional context, leads to the transformation of the individual and surrounding community. Secondly, that from the proceeds of the minimal fees charged that we proactively support, by encouragement and financial contribution, local and global mission.

Are you accredited?

Pending

The process of accreditation is a difficult process to summarise. Firstly, we are more concerned that we provide adequate teaching that is faithful, competent and professional. Seeking to achieve this objective does not require, although it may not exclude, the process of external accreditation. Secondly, we are in the process of pursuing non-regulated customised accreditation. What this means is that a UK awarding body that deals with accreditation will both evaluate and validate the standards of what is taught and those who teach it. Whilst the awards are not nationally recognised they are benchmarked using the same process as national awards. The benefit of this is that we are working with nationally recognised centres of learning globally that are willing to accept some courses through their recognised prior learning programs. To enquire further as to which courses these are and what institutions accept TTA training, please contact the Academy for further information.

What is your relationship to thirdmill.org?

Basis of Partnership

Whilst we are writing many of our own courses, we owe a huge debt to the commitment and vision of thirdmill.org. They provide many free resources to those who are willing to pursue theological study. We believe not only do they present the material in such a professional manner but offer a biblically balanced and throughly biblical presentation of theological subjects. Thirdmill recognise the value of supervision and are therefore supportive of a small fee being imposed to pay for the administrative running of courses. At TTA we are committed to making sure that this is not only kept to a minimum but that courses run in partnership with thirdmill provide missionary support to those engaged in frontline evangelical ministries, both locally and globally.

What is your vision for the future?

Listening to God

That is not an easy question to answer. We can only effectively talk about God is impressing upon our hearts now. We are passionate about theological education. It is our belief that the church as it takes on the challenge of a changing society must be rooted in a proper and faithful understanding of what the scriptures teach. It will be difficult for any succeeding generation to effectively carry out the great commission unless it has a proper understanding of God's revelation. To undertake this task we must rightfully divide the word of truth and this takes effort and discipline. At TTA we want to help people engage in this process so that they can effectively engage the world around them seeking not only the salvation of the lost, but to act and salt and light in every community that God places them.
