Asia Pacific Theological Seminary (APTS) is a theological seminary in Baguio City, the Philippines, operated by the Assemblies of God.[1]
The seminary was founded in 1964 as the Far East Advanced School of Theology (FEAST). It moved to its current location in 1986 and was given its present name in 1989.[2]
The seminary is accredited by the Asia Theological Association (ATA) to offer the following degrees:[3]
- Master of Arts in ministry[4]
- Master of Arts in intercultural studies
- Master of Arts in intercultural studies with an Islamic studies concentration
- Master of Arts in theology
- Master of Divinity[5]
- Master of Theology in Pentecostal/Charismatic studies

APTS is also part of Asia Graduate School of Theology, a consortium of evangelical theological seminaries established by the ATA in 1984 to enable member seminaries to offer higher degrees.[7]
According to Wonsuk and Julie Ma, APTS is a "well-respected institution, not only among Evangelicals, but also mainline churches".[8]
In conjunction with the Asian Pentecostal Society, APTS publishes the Asian Journal of Pentecostal Studies.
