Vision + Mission = A Better Tomorrow

Theology Academy aims to broaden our viewers’ horizons and bring theological education to everyone, regardless of denomination, in such a way that expertise is not required.

Credible Religious Content That Everyone Can Understand

Our content enhances religious understanding through science- and academia-based videos and literature. This accessibility, in turn, fosters a more solid understanding of religion for the masses, which ultimately promotes political and economic stability worldwide.

Religious Education On The Go

It’s no secret that younger generations tend to avoid most religious content. Gen Z and Alpha don’t trust teachings that aren’t rooted in historical and theological fact, and (to be completely honest) most of the content that is out there is just plain boring. That’s why we’ve created short, credible, animated religion-based videos and worked to expertly translate a variety of Christian literature.

Learn anywhere, on any device, from scholars and professors at world-leading institutions – Harvard University, Yale University, Boston University, University of Notre Dame, University of Cambridge, and others.

No faithful person can be effective in their spiritual/religious vocations unless they fully understand the language of the ‘other’ – whoever that ‘other’ may be. The School of Alexandria gained a global reputation because it interacted with the secular world and transformed its language into a transcended one.

That’s why we make it our mission to sponsor several students on an annual basis. Interested in learning more? Reach out today!
