Studying theology on the Chrischona Berg since 1840
Studying Protestant theology on the Chrischona Berg has a long tradition. The Theological Seminary St. Chrischona was founded in 1840, and theological education has shaped the place ever since. Theological education at the TSC is more than a degree; it is also personal development. In the TSC community students journey together: growing in faith, maturing as individuals and discovering their calling.
Communicative Theology
Theology studies at the TSC are shaped by Communicative Theology (a theology that listens, understands and passes on). It lives from conversation with God. It helps us understand what we believe and makes us want to communicate our faith. It is a rich and diverse Protestant theology. Communicative Theology is the foundation of all degree programmes and courses at the Theological Seminary St. Chrischona.
Three bachelor's programmes plus distance learning
The TSC offers a wide range of study options. At its heart are the three bachelor’s programmes: the Bachelor’s programme in Communicative Theology focuses on proclaiming the gospel and on leadership. The Bachelor in Theology can be completed on campus or as a distance learning programme too. The Bachelor’s programme in Theology & Education offers educational variety and methodological skills. Unique is the Bachelor’s programme in Theology & Music, which complements theological studies with thorough musical training.
Further education for everyone: annual course, webinars, seminars, workshops
The TSC Annual Course offers 10 months of Bible, time out and further training. It is an ideal orientation year. The TSC Annual Course brings together the best of the bachelor’s programmes. It is also available with a focus on worship. Through online courses and webinars you can benefit from the expertise of the TSC lecturers from home. The TSC also offers seminars and workshops on various topics, for personal development or simply to enjoy. Part-time continuing education with a certificate is available in the CAS programmes of the Institute for Leadership and Church Development.
