As of 2019, MINTS International Seminary works in more than 70 countries in the world, with over 700 study centers and many thousands of students. Courses are written in 11 languages. From 2004-2019, MINTS has graduated more than 4,700 students.

• MINTS provides distance education in which groups can study on-line, but most gather in weekly study groups where local teachers are trained to teach the MINTS courses. Courses are available free of charge on our web pages (www.mints.edu, www.mintsespanol.com) and are available through a variety of on-line programs.

• MINTS works on an interdenominational level and only teaches from a Biblical and Reformed perspective. All the accepted MINTS courses are approved by the International Academic Dean and placed on our web pages.

• MINTS has 14 full-time staff and over 150 adjuncts and local coordinators. The United Reformed Churches in North America have six men working with MINTS: Mr. Norlan De Groot, Mr. Melvin Dotinga, Dr. Cornelius (Neal) Hegeman, Dr. Eric Pennings, Rev. José Ramírez, and Dr. Allen Vander Pol. Other teachers and writers come from the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). MINTS does not pay its teaching missionaries. Each missionary is under the authority of a local church or denomination and raises his own support. The URCNA missionaries and mission workers report to a Joint Venture Committee comprised of calling churches from Canada and the USA.

• MINTS specializes in working at the Master’s level, training teachers and professors of Bible institutes, seminaries, and other educational projects. The Masters thesis is to write a 100-page commentary on a book of the Bible. The Doctoral programs build on further training of MINTS professors.

• MINTS partners with many national churches and mission agencies, such as Building Bridges, CLIR, Dominican Luke Society, Mission to the World, Reformed Mission Services, Third Millennium, Timothy Training, Word and Deed, and others.​ ​​​
