Andersonville Theological Seminary (formerly the Andersonville Baptist Seminary) is an unaccredited private Christian seminary located in Camilla, Georgia, United States.[2][3]
Background
The Andersonville Baptist Seminary was founded in 1981 by Jimmy L. Hayes, who sought to create a Bible-based distance education seminary training for those already in ministry.[4] In the 2000s the school changed its name to Andersonville Theological Seminary.[5][non-primary source needed] The school's foundation stems from an evangelical Baptist tradition and still lists these positions in their existing published Doctrinal Statement.[6][non-primary source needed] According to ATS, the seminary currently has approximately 3,000 enrolled students, and over 30,000 graduates.[7][non-primary source needed]
Academics and accreditation
The seminary offers online undergraduate and graduate level degree programs in topics such as Biblical studies, Theology, Christian ministry, Pastoral Leadership and Christian Counselling.[8] The institution is not accredited by any state or national accrediting agencies, and its degrees may not be recognized by employers or educational institutions.[2] The ATS's Master's in Christian Counseling course is recognized by the National Christian Counselors Association but does not meet state licensing requirements. [9][10]
The seminary is registered as a 501(c)(3) organization.[11]
