Middle East and North Africa Association for Theological Education - MENATE

The Middle East and North Africa Association for Theological Education (MENATE) was founded in Cyprus in 1992 in order to strengthen the Church in the Middle East and North Africa by providing fellowship, networking, quality assurance and professional services for evangelical higher educational institutions located in the region. As of January 2017, Seventeen of these institutions have become members of MENATE, and five have been accredited by MENATE.

MENATE seeks to serve both theological schools and churches in the region, as the purpose of theological education is to strengthen and empower the Church. Creatively responding to the leadership needs of the churches is the primary criterion for the success of our network.

MENATE is a non-profit association governed by a General Assembly and represented by an Executive Committee that acts on its behalf and is accountable to the General Assembly.

MENATE is recognized by the Lebanese government and registered under license number 77/2010.

MENATE is a full member of the International Council for Evangelical Theological Education (ICETE) and values the close fellowship we have with ICETE and the other eight regional accrediting associations who are also its members.
