“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom …. Wisdom is more profitable than silver, and the gain she brings is better than gold… Gain understanding though it cost you all you have.” Proverbs 1:7; 3:14; 4:7. 

Pakistan Adventist Seminary is an institution of learning founded upon the premises of Christianity as understood by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.  As a community we acknowledge that God is the Creator of the universe and the Source of all wisdom.  We recognize that mankind, created perfect by God, has fallen from grace.  True education aims at the restoration of human beings to the original state of grace from which they have fallen.  This restoration we believe is accomplished through the merits and death of Jesus Christ who is God’s revelation of Himself to mankind.  The Bible is accepted as God’s written self-declaration and the standard by which truth is measured.  As such it constitutes the organising theme around which the curriculum is centred and ensures that education is broader than a purely intellectual pursuit of knowledge.  The course of studies offered by the Seminary is therefore concerned with a knowledge and understanding of God, the development of character based on Christian ethical values, the pursuit of high intellectual achievement, and the development of optimum physical health-all of which are primary Biblical concerns.  As a community of Christian students and teachers we accept that our understanding of God, the universe and the Bible must inform and direct our educational activity and our interaction with the rest of the human family. 

“Every human being, created in the image of God, is endowed with a power akin to that of the Creator—individuality, power to think and to do… It is the work of true education to develop this power, to train the youth to be thinkers, and not mere reflectors of other men’s thoughts.”
