About NEW YORK THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION CENTER

New York Theological Education Center (NYTEC) is a New York–based, donor-facing nonprofit established in 1992 that delivers Chinese-language theological education primarily through its Chinese Online School of Theology (COST), publications, seminars and study tours. The organization is identified in public nonprofit records under EIN 11-3135077 and operates as a 501(c)(3) educational charity.

NYTEC’s programming targets Chinese-speaking students and church leaders worldwide: it runs correspondence and online coursework (COST), produces Chinese theological books and resources, and organizes seminars and Holy Land study trips. The center reports active fundraising and recent annual filings (including Form 990s) and maintains public donation pages to receive gifts in USD and other channels.

In the past 2–3 years NYTEC has continued to publish course catalogs and bulletins, maintain online course enrollment (more than several hundred students in COST), and received foundation/donor-advised grants supporting its educational programs. The organization also reports recent grant support and up-to-date tax filings for fiscal years through September 2024, indicating ongoing operations and donor activity.
