Church of God Theological Seminary, located in Cleveland, Tennessee, is the main theological training center for the Church of God (Cleveland). The school was founded in 1975 as the Church of God Graduate School of Christian Ministries. In 1978 the name was changed to Church of God School of Theology, and later the name was changed once again to Church of God Theological Seminary. The seminary distinguishes itself as one of the few ministry training institutions that integrates both Pentecostal and Wesleyan theological emphases.
Although the Full Gospel Church of God of Guatemala has enjoyed a high degree of numerical growth and is one of the more prominent evangelical denominations of the country, there yet exists a great need to continue to develop a soundly biblical basis for social awareness and involvement.
Theological understanding is foundational to a church's conception of the Christian mission and the particular role it must play within that mission.
