Asian Theological Seminary came into existence when, after planning and praying for almost 25 years, missionaries of the Far Eastern Gospel Crusade (now SEND International) finally realized their vision for a graduate-level training institution.In 1969, the first evening classes were held, with 23 part-time students, at a student center on Lerma Street, Sampaloc, Manila. From such humble beginnings, ATS steadily grew in faculty size and student population, necessitating transfers to different locations within Quezon City. In 1980, under the presidency of Dr. Stewart De Boer, it finally settled down at its present location on Scout Madriñan.As ATS grew, so did its support from the evangelical community. In 1975, the Conservative Baptist Mission and the Overseas Missionary Fellowship joined SEND International as co-sponsoring missions. ATS was then incorporated under a Board of Trustees that represented each sponsoring mission and several national churches.
