Church Relations

Our Mission

International Theological Seminary serves as a world-class training organization, equipping pastors and community leaders to transform their local communities into vibrant places of worship, mission, and justice.

ITS was founded more than 40 years ago, in 1982, with a vision to train students from around the globe and send them back to their home countries to lead ministries according to their calling.

We value providing high-quality education to our students at an affordable cost.

There are many opportunities for local churches in Southern California to become involved.
