A Network for Theological Education
As globalisation and internationalisation shape the world, networking is becoming the way of the future in higher education. In addition to its traditional function of  quality assurance in theological education, the vision of the EEAA is to also respond to the challenges of a changing world and develop an effective and sustainable network of European theological institutions and leaders that can effectively serve one another by connecting their considerable resources in a common evangelical educational enterprise.

Membership in the EEAA is all that is required to join the EEAA network. Members of the EEAA network benefit from the following potential advantages:

  • The requirements for EEAA membership are designed to testify to the quality of schools within evangelical Europe, both to the supporting constituency and among other theological schools.  EEAA membership thus well represents tangible evidence of the desire to be a part of what God is doing through theological education in Europe.

  • Being part of the EEAA network enables confident interchange with fellow schools that share common values. This interchange can produce lasting friendships among peers and many profitable enterprises.

  • Mission boards, denominations and service groups welcome an evangelical seal of quality, especially in the case of schools that operate under government or secular university accreditation. If necessary, the EEAA will provide recommendation of its members to foundations.

  • The network is committed to assist in launching and managing networking projects of any member school and in giving them publicity both on the EEAA website and in the EEAA magazine.

  • Member schools will be included in the list of member schools on the EEAA website and can claim EEAA membership on their publications.

  • All schools will receive updated information regarding service benefits, projects, seminars, library grants, and all of the EEAA’s publications.  Members will also have priority in being invited to participate in reserved events, seminars, consultations and projects.

  • Through the ICETE, member schools will have access to a worldwide network of over 700 theological schools.

  • Member schools may also benefit from orientation visits to investigate EEAA accreditation and access to quality assurance services for school programmes.

Schools interested in joining the EEAA network can request an Orientation Visit from a Council member.  Member schools can also request an Orientation Visit to gain advice on accreditation or quality assurance issue. Regular visitation fees apply for this kind of visit.

Complete information on the EEAA Network can be found in the EEAA Manual.
