Meachum Theological Institute exists to bring biblical, graduate-level theological education to Black communities in a contextualized and affordable manner. Meachum is committed to theological education that is biblical, contextual and accessible: biblical as rooted in the Gospel, the sole lordship of the risen Jesus Christ and the authority of Scripture; contextual as having indigenous leadership and deploying contextualized pedagogical methods and content arising from the Black and other diverse traditions; and accessible as offering theological education at an affordable cost located in under-resourced communities.
