Spiritual Transformation
Recognizing that preparation for effective ministry must extend beyond a mere academic experience, AGTS is committed to providing personalized opportunities for holistic spiritual development.

The director of spiritual formation meets with every student regularly to assist them in discovering how God wants to work uniquely in and through them. This personal touch has been a source of encouragement to students who appreciate the genuine concern and practical help AGTS offers to facilitate intentional spiritual growth.

“I love equipping emerging leaders to experience holistic spiritual transformation—a necessary foundation for healthy and effective ministry. My gift of encouragement finds expression in helping students discover and fulfill their unique God-given potential for ministry.”
—Dr. Jay P. Taylor, Director of Spiritual Formation, Assistant Professor of Spiritual Formation

I have a passion for helping believers become excited about growing as followers of Christ and integrating their faith into everyday living. I enjoy watching students experience ‘ah-ha’ moments as they discover how they can better reflect Christ. A specific focus of this passion involves helping ministers gain an increased appreciation for the maintenance and promotion of sexual integrity in the church.”
—Dr. Cheryl A. Taylor, Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program

“AGTS is a school designed to teach you not only in the classroom, but in the practical (spiritual) aspects of life. The professor’s truly care about your calling and your future plans and ministry.“
—Tina M. Green (M.A.C.M. Student)
