Over the years Jordan has continued to be a relatively friendly country to learn Arabic. The tragic events that have taken place in neighboring countries have arguably made it the premier choice for those wanting to study Arabic for Christian ministry. Jordan is an ideal place for getting a feel for overseas service.

Another reason for studying in Jordan is its affinity with the culture of Bible times. Along with its connection with a number of personalities and events mentioned in the Bible; Jordan offers students insights into the world of the Bible because of its relative closeness with Arabic culture and the culture of the Old and New Testaments. With this in mind, prepare yourself for a seminary life in the Biblical land.

Jordan Evangelical Theological Seminary (JETS) began as a vision for equipping believers in the Middle East to minister to the people living in the 22 countries of the Arab speaking world.  Only four percent of the populations of these countries profess to be Christian and most of these are Christian in name only, having never experienced a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.  For this reason Dr. Imad Shehadeh began the work of founding the institution that is known today as Jordan Evangelical Theological Seminary.

Initially, JETS began operation under the auspices of officially recognized local churches in 1991 while the government studied its application for independent recognition.  On March 23, 1995, JETS was officially registered by the Ministry of Culture.  JETS then elected its first Board of Trustees from the five evangelical denominations that minister in Jordan. Classes were conducted in various rented locations until JETS move into its own campus in 2013.

Since 1995, JETS has continued to grow and develop as an institution of higher theological studies. The founder, Dr. Imad Shehadeh, continues to serve as President as JETS move towards its second decade of producing highly educated academics/evangelists for the Arab world.  JETS is fully committed to fulfilling its mission of equipping Arab leaders for the Arab World, as seen by the number of students that have graduated.

Graduates currently serve in 19 countries around the world, in capacities such as evangelists, pastors, assistant pastors, youth leaders, women’s ministry leaders, children’s ministry leaders, and other areas of church and parachurch ministry.  To the glory of God, of the 60 Evangelical churches in Jordan, more than half are pastored by JETS graduates.  

JETS maintains seven accredited degree programs, from a one-year C.B.S. to a four-year Th. M. (see the Accreditation section for academic clarifications for degree programs) offered in Amman, Jordan as well as a Doctorate of Ministry program.  In addition to this, JETS also offers a non-accredited Partner in Ministry program for student wives. The Academic Department is constantly looking for ways to serve the community through more flexible program offerings, such as evening classes and online attendance.

Accreditation

JETS is registered in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.  The certificates awarded according to articles 4 and 5 of the constitution are “based on ecclesiastical and international standards for theological studies meeting special accreditation standards for these studies.”  Furthermore, JETS has been approved for accreditation by the Middle East Association for Theological Education (MEATE), the European Evangelical Accrediting Association (EEAA), and the Asia Theological Association (ATA).

How Do I Apply to JETS?

Application forms are available from the Admissions Office or by email request at admissions@jets.edu.  Applicants for the preparatory or basic level programs must have passed Tawjihi or equivalent (see the Accreditation section for academic clarifications of degree programs).  To enroll in any advanced level programs applicants require a minimum B.Th. or B.A. degree from an accredited college or university.  Any exceptions need the approval of the Academic Committee.

To enroll in the D. Min program applicants require an M. Div or Th. M degree from a recognized seminary,  that meets certain biblical language and English language requirements.

When Can I Apply?

Applications for the fall semester must be received by the second week of July, while applications for the spring semester must be received by the second week of December.  Applications for the summer semester must be received by the second week of April.  All required reference forms must also be sent in by the same deadlines.  Application information or references received after the above mentioned dates may delay acceptance by up to one year. Please note that students accepted off-season at the advanced level will find adjusting to courses difficult, but not impossible. They will be expected to work harder to maintain a satisfactory GPA.

Please also note that all M. Div and Th.M. applicants are required to have adequately met TOEFL exam requirements in order to qualify for entry into the program.

Are Scholarship Funds Available?

There are several different types of financial aid available for qualifying students.  JETS works hard to keep costs as low as possible for the students by soliciting donor gifts as subsidies. Applications for financial aid must be received by the same deadlines as the student applications.  Forms can be obtained from the Admissions Office by email request at admissions@jets.edu

All students receiving scholarship funds (either tuition or living expenses) are required to complete reports for the Development Department as requested.  Our Development Department works hard to make sure students pay only a fraction of the actual cost of their education.

Is Housing Available?

At present all students are responsible for finding their own accommodation.  The Office of Student and Alumni Affairs can
give listings of some available housing in various areas of Amman.  Notices are regularly posted on campus bulletin boards by students looking for roommates or by those seeking to rent to JETS students.

Is There Job Placement Assistance After Graduation?

JETS cannot guarantee any student employment after graduation.  However, the Dean of Student and Alumni Affairs works hard to inform churches and Christian organizations within the Arab World of gifted and trained graduates who are looking for a place of service.  Our students and graduates serve in several church and para church organizations throughout the Middle East.  

Graduates who have developed ministry skills by applying what they learned during their program of study are often sought after by churches and Christian organizations in the region.

Social Life

The Student Department works with the Student Council officers to help plan and provide events that focus on recreation, fellowship, and entertainment for the student body. In addition, the Student Department is required to provide a list of public parks, museums, and other points of interest that students may visit while living in Jordan. All students are encouraged to participate in these activities in order to further strengthen the family atmosphere that JETS seeks to provide. Many of the friendships that are formed during these informal times last a lifetime. 

Jordan and Safety

For decades, Jordan has been an oasis of safety and stability in an increasingly unstable and war-torn region. While we do not anticipate any change in the overall picture for Jordan in the coming year, we are keenly aware of what is happening around us and pay close attention to advisories from the US Embassy in Amman, with whom students are required to register on arrival. With this in mind, we have in place a pro-active safety and evacuation plan, under the supervision of a committee, whose protocols will be triggered by specific events and situations, should they arise.

Academic Programs 

Partners in Ministry – P.I.M. (for spouses of JETS students) 

The Partners in Ministry (PIM) program was designed to help meet the needs of student spouses who are not able to enroll in one of the academic programs offered at JETS. Our philosophy of ministry is that we are committed to training and preparing both the husband and the wife for Christian ministry. 

As a result of careful discussion and consideration, the PIM program has been structured as follows (spouses are expected to choose one of the three options): 

1. A spouse of a studying student is able to take 6 courses for credit (where JETS would cover the tuition costs) and receive a PIM certificate (non-accredited) at the graduation of their studying spouse, or 

2. A spouse of a studying student is able to attend an organized ministry focus program, that will be headed up by the Student Department and receive special recognition at the graduation banquet for their studying spouse, or 

3. A spouse of a studying student is able to decline the above two options and therefore receive no recognition. 

All PIM students are required to meet the same eligibility for acceptance criteria as all reparatory and basic level applicants, please see above. 

Originally the PIM was designed to provide the spouse of a studying student with a basic understanding of the seminary environment and prepare them for supportive ministry. It was intended to be a helpful tool rather than a burden. JETS understands that spouses of students are often under great pressure in the family home, and possibly the work environment, to support their studying spouse. It is for this reason that the PIM is not mandatory, but we do strongly encourage all students who expect to have an effective ministry and supportive family environment to select either option 1 or 2 above. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that their spouse is aware of the PIM program and enrollment procedures.

A profound aspect is that the degree, involving rigorous theological, Biblical and cultural studies is available in the context of the students’ present and continuing ministry in their countries. 

The modular approach of the D.Min. program facilitates a forum for discussing and thinking through essential ministerial issues and procedures together, the aim is to greatly enhance and empower pastoral leadership and, more generally Christian leadership, in the Middle East. 

The DMin programme is designed for Arabic speakers, but divides into two merging tracks. Track one is the ‘A’ track for those who prefer to work in exclusively Arabic medium and track two is the ‘E’ track for those who are competent in reading theological texts in English. Those on the ‘E’ track may choose ‘A’ track electives. 

Students must complete 9 Modules. Modules, apart from Independent studies require visits to the JETS campus and some do not. And either an extensive Field Study Project [no dissertation?] or a 30-40000 word Research Dissertation. 

The degree is over a duration of 4 to 5 years, 7 years maximum, and is modular in structure. The content of modules varies from courses on the JETS Campus, independent studies, Field studies.

The student is accountable for following the guidelines set up for each Field Ministry. 

Support Us

Objective

In order for the work of JETS to continue and grow we have a number of challenges to overcome. One of the most pressing needs is in the financing of a variety of initiatives and projects.

1. Student scholarships 

a. Living scholarships. Most of our students come from poor backgrounds and are unable to pay tuition fees and living costs. JETS provides each student with a living scholarship for 8 hours of work a week on campus. Without these scholarships, most would not be able to undertake their studies. The average amount that each student receives each month for living is $400 per month. 

b. Tuition scholarships. The average tuition cost for every student is $600 per month. 

2. Library 

JETS currently has around 35,000 volumes, many of which have been very kindly donated to us. We want to expand this to at least 50,000 volumes. We also need to renovate the library with seating and a small IT lab with an electronic database.

3. Campus Development

The campus is primarily composed of the main building with the housing building and a smaller missions and prayer building in between.

4. Monthly Giving

We have a growing need for depending on large gifts. The reason is that our monthly income is not enough to meet the ongoing demands. We welcome any amount of monthly donations of $25, $50, $100, $500 or more. 

5. Major Financial Obligations to Meet

• Government requirement
• The Main Building Construction
• The Prayer and Missions Tower
• The Student and Conference Accommodation
