Decades of History
Our approach to theological education is as unique as the vocation God has given you.
CBTE stands for competency-based theological education. It offers you apprenticeship-style learning through guided hands-on practice, modular teaching, intensive mentoring, and reliable assessment, all done in your ministry context.
As pioneers and world leaders in CBTE, Northwest offers accredited, respected bachelor and master degrees that cultivate graduates who have developed and demonstrated competence in the knowledge, skill, and character traits required for joyful service and skilled leadership in their context.
Northwest offers traditional course-based graduate-level programs through ACTS Seminaries, a partnership of four distinct Canadian seminaries working together to form and equip followers of Christ to serve in the church and the world. Together, this consortium operates as the the graduate school of theology for Trinity Western University.
Through ACTS, we offer specialized and general theological education, masters and doctoral degrees, certificates and diplomas, through flexible, accessible study options including in-person, modular and online courses.
Global Leaders
We educate ministry leaders in North America, Central and South America, and Korea, and offer programs in English, Korean, French, and Spanish.

I received from Immerse an unmovable trust in God's Word and now each day I look forward to reading his word. No amount of money can "buy" this faith or desire for scripture. This is something that will stay with me for life, and taking Immerse helped me get there.
