Messianic Jewish Theological Academy

The Messianic Jewish Theological Academy (MJTA) is a theological training institution offering an academic credential in theology with the goal of preparing individuals who are called to leadership roles in the Messianic Movement and for different ministries of the Gospel among the Jewish people. MJTA aims at a healthy integration of theological reflection and practical ministry, as well as the development of a godly character and practical love for the people of Israel. Classes are held in Berlin, Germany, with a focus on messianic congregations in Germany and greater Europe (as a European outreach of Chosen People Ministries). MJTA is a member of the European Council for Theological Education (ECTE) and is pursuing accreditation in partnership with ECTE. DTS students can participate remotely in master’s-level courses taught in Berlin, and MJTA students can take courses online or in person in Berlin or Dallas.

One for Israel Bible College

Israel College of the Bible (ICB) was founded in 1990 as the result of the conviction of several Israeli pastors that the establishment of a national Bible College was necessary to serve the indigenous Israeli Messianic Body. Today Jewish and Arab believers come from all over Israel to study the Bible, theology, counseling, and practical ministry at both the BA and MA level. ICB is located in Netanya, Israel (in the greater metropolitan area of Tel Aviv) and is accredited by both the Asia Theological Association (ATA) and the European Council for Theological Education (ECTE). Both the ECTE and ATA are members of the International Council for Evangelical Theological Education (ICETE). DTS students will have the opportunity to take master level courses with ICB either in Israel or online, and ICB students will have the opportunity to take master level courses at DTS either in Dallas or online.
