Logos Facts

For more than 30 years, Logos has been laying an excellent foundation for the spiritual shaping of its students through its rigorous curriculum, becoming a cradle for the cultivation of theological thinkers. Through God’s grace and strength, Logos has been empowered to care for others. That’s why we have been supporting theological education in the Asia-Pacific region for years, promoting biblical family and marriage values in Asia and around the world, in addition to cooperating with missionaries who serve unengaged, unreached people groups. Logos’ teachings are based on rigorous academic research in the West and applied to the unique sociocultural context of Chinese churches. If your vision is to serve Chinese or Asian Christian institutions, consider Logos Evangelical Seminary as your first choice.
