ABOUT US

We are an institution with strong ministerial and leadership focus, seeking to assist those who have been called by God and have developed an irresistible urge to serve the church and the community.  We are located at the heart of the Westside area in Cleveland, Ohio, where there is a large concentration of Hispanic/Latinos and churches. Our services are intentionally directed towards the Spanish-speaking community of God that generally does not have access to traditional institutions whose focus is ministerial formation, often because of language barriers, socio-economic status, and educational level. The Galilean Theological Center is currently preparing men and women whose goal is to earn a graduate degree from Ashland Theological Seminary.

Our focus is to train and develop leaders for the Hispanic-Latino Church in the 21st century.  We specialize in offering educational conversations, seminars, lectureships, and courses on matters that relate to Hispanic-Latino religious history, theology, biblical interpretations, experiences, beliefs, contributions, and achievements.

Today, with the social ills that plague the Hispanic-Latino community it has become more difficult to address than ever before.  Identity, poverty, unemployment, teenage pregnancy, school drop-out rates, alcoholism, drug abuse, HIV-Aids, illegal immigration, sexism, classism, and racism are a few of the problems and social ills that are currently affecting the Hispanic-Latino community.  There is a need for a group of called, trained Christians to effectively minister to the Hispanic-Latino community in a holistic manner. At the Galilean Theological Center, Hispanic/Latino clergy and laity have found a space and a place to deal with these issues.
