Our Partnerships
Horizon Education Network is not working alone. We are privileged to be part of a growing global coalition of organizations, accrediting bodies, churches, and mission agencies — all united by a shared conviction that quality theological education changes lives and advances God's Kingdom.
ICETE — International Council for Evangelical Theological Education
Horizon Education Network is a formal partner of ICETE, the global hub for evangelical theological education. ICETE brings together accrediting associations, institutions, and partner organizations from every region of the world with a shared commitment to quality, connection, and impact in theological training.
Through this partnership, Horizon is formally aligned with global standards of quality in evangelical theological education. ICETE's framework of quality assurance, collaborative networks, and shared resources strengthens what we are able to offer Education Partners — connecting them to a worldwide community committed to raising the standard of ministry formation.
ICETE's mission — fostering renewal and excellence in evangelical theological education through global dialogue and cooperation — mirrors our own. Together, we believe the Church is stronger when its leaders are better trained.

Proudly Partnering Alongside
A Coalition of Kingdom Partners
Horizon's work is made possible by the collaboration of mission agencies, accrediting organizations, and a growing network of Education Partners across the globe.
Mission Agency Partners
Horizon collaborates with various mission agencies to equip the next generation of ministry leaders. A key example is the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism (ABWE), a long-standing partner with whom many of our staff serve as missionaries. Together with other agency partners, we work to ensure that church planting and leadership development are grounded in quality theological education.
Theological Accrediting Bodies
We partner with evangelical theological accrediting organizations that uphold rigorous academic and ministerial standards. These relationships help validate the quality of programs our Education Partners deliver and support institutions navigating accreditation for the first time.
Education Partners
Dozens of seminaries, Bible colleges, and church-based training programs around the world are part of the Horizon network. Each institution brings its own context, tradition, and students — and together they form a remarkable tapestry of theological education spanning continents and cultures.
Better Together for the Kingdom
No single organization can bear the full weight of the Great Commission alone — nor should it. Horizon was founded on the conviction that collaboration is not just strategic, it's biblical. When churches, mission agencies, accrediting bodies, and educational institutions work in concert, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.
Across dozens of countries, Christians are investing in the next generation of pastors, teachers, and ministry leaders. Some are funding scholarships. Others are providing faculty. Still others are opening their churches as classrooms and their communities as living contexts for theological reflection. Horizon provides the connective infrastructure — the technology, the training, and the partnership framework — that makes this distributed effort coherent and sustainable.
We believe the global Church grows stronger when its leaders are better equipped. And we believe that equipping those leaders well requires the very kind of partnership — across traditions, geography, and callings — that defines Horizon's work.
