Centro Evangélica Mennonita de Teología Asunción (CEMTA) offers theology and music degrees as part of the Universidad Evangélica del Paraguay.
CEMTA’s mission is to prepare servants of Christ with Anabaptist biblical principles to serve the church and society. This training is accomplished with emphasis in academic and practical areas, character formation, and life in community, all based on the Bible as understood from an Anabaptist perspective. Since 1994, its theology and music departments are accredited as part of the Universidad Evangélica del Paraguay. The CEMTA curriculum is in Spanish and serves students from both German and Spanish churches.
The Centro de Estudios de Teología Anabautista de la Paz (CETAP) is part of CEMTA and provides materials for study and practical reflection on the biblical concept of peace.
History
Mission Network predecessor agencies collaborated in establishing a regional Mennonite seminary in Montevideo in 1956. The seminary closed in 1974, and some of the library and furnishings were moved to Asunción, Paraguay, where CEMTA opened in 1977.
