About us

Our history

MINTS is a mission seminary founded in 2000 in Miami, Florida. It prepares pastors, teachers, missionaries, and church leaders through sound theology, practical ministry, and spiritual formation for faithful service to Christ.

MINTS establishes small local study centers worldwide. These centers equip national believers to lead and to train others, so advancing the Great Commission through accessible, affordable and contextual church-based education. MINTS offers courses in multiple languages.

Our Mission

MINTS uses a "school without walls" approach." MINTS advocates taking the education to the people by having the professors go and establish new schools in an ever-expanding circle of communities rather than expecting students to come to one central location. MINTS provides curriculum, high academic standards, administrative software, and training to national believers to start schools in their own communities in churches, schools, and homes. They can do this with little or no cost so once they are established we assist them in establishing new centers in new areas so they can continue the Great Commission.
