PHILTEEN

PHILTEEN

This PNC Off-Campus Program is an educational opportunity for students who are not able to enter a residential program. In cooperation with the Philippine Church of the Nazarene, the PHILTEEN program is designed to equip gifted individuals with a deep desire to serve God in the Church, especially those called by God to do works of ministry. This program is a response to the need for district-based ministerial education through off-campus classes. It makes theological, biblical education accessible to all Christians. Its aim is to provide classes necessary for ordination in the Church of the Nazarene.

Anyone with a sincere desire to study Scripture, theology and the Church is invited to participate in this program. Special interest is directed toward those God-called persons needing preparation for pastoral ministry.
