Mar Thoma Theological Seminary

The Mar Thoma Theological Seminary stands as a space where faith is deepened, vocations are discerned, and communities are prepared for thoughtful, Christ-centred service. It is a place where worship, study, and service come together, moulding leaders who hold firm to the Gospel while walking humbly through a rapidly changing world. For nearly a century, the Seminary has shaped generations of ministers, scholars, and servants of the Gospel with spiritual depth and theological integrity. Since its beginning, the Seminary has been affiliated with Serampore University, offering programs that have evolved. It began with the Licentiate in Theology, followed by the Bachelor of Theology in 1970, and the Bachelor of Divinity (B.D.) in 1974. Since 1980, the Seminary has expanded its offerings to include postgraduate and doctoral studies through the Federated Faculty for Research in Religion and Culture (FFRRC), an ecumenical venture shared with the Orthodox Theological Seminary and Kerala United Theological Seminary. This inclusive environment brings together students from across India and various denominations, fostering a spirit of mutual respect and collaboration.
