The Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Seminary (ABMTS) was founded in 1996 by Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, who is also the founder of Lighthouse Chapel International.

ABMTS was established out of the realization that there was a need for more institutions of practical Biblical Studies, where men and women desiring to do the work of the ministry could receive adequate training, to enable them fulfill the scripture in 2 Timothy 2:15, "Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

It is the purpose of ABMTS to assist students in acquiring the knowledge they need to be successful in the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, and also to do well in other aspects of life. ABMTS seeks to graduate an integrated person; spiritually alive, intellectually alert, and physically disciplined.

 

ABMTS is made up of 3 faculties:

1. Poimen faculty (318 students) - The Poimen faculty is in charge of pastoral training, preparing pastors towards ordination and organising exams for pastoral appointees and pre-ordinants.
