Training for Kurdistan, and Iraq

We serve all evangelical churches, equipping future pastors and workers in Bible, theology, and practical ministry

The Church is growing in Kurdistan and Iraq, but new leaders need training. Middle East Theological College exists to serve the Church by training her leaders and workers. In 2022, by faith, we launched METC in Iraq; the only fully accredited Bible college in a country the size of California. Join us, won’t you and pray for this desperately needed ministry!

Getting Started

Classes for METC began in October 2022, with students completing the following courses:

Old Testament Survey
Principles of the Spiritual Life

In March 2023, we will offer two more classes for our students:

New Testament Survey

Instruction is in Arabic, from both native speakers and interpretation.

Our faculty all possess advanced theological and ministry degrees, and are ordained by various evangelical denominations.

Committing Truth to the Faithful

METC is fully accredited by ATA
– Asia Theological Association

Our Module Format

We currently offer classes 3-4 times a year through modules: two-week sessions with two different courses, one per week.

Each class is 3 units, meaning that two classes taken during a module equal 6 units.
