Asbury Theological Seminary was founded in 1923 by H.C. Morrison with a class of three students and an audacious seal that said, “The whole Bible for the whole world.” President Timothy C. Tennent currently leads Asbury Seminary in its mission “to prepare theologically educated, sanctified, Spirit-filled men and women to evangelize and to spread scriptural holiness throughout the world.”

Almost 100 years later, the Seminary has more than 10,000 graduates serving in every time zone around the world through social justice initiatives, government, art, mission organizations, education and the church. Today, Asbury Seminary enrolls more than 1,600 students, representing more than 90 denominations and 40 countries. Alumni of the Seminary serve around the world in 77 countries, all 50 states, and in more than 157 denominations.

Asbury Seminary values the business relationship the Benefit Insurance Marketing provides. However, the relationship has become more personal over the years. BIM is an integral part of the Asbury community, providing a great source of compliance information, preparing analytical data and negotiating skillfully with our insurance carriers. BIM is an invaluable partner in helping ATS care for our employees.
