Why Study at LST?
At London School of Theology, we offer a truly thought provoking and challenging range of programmes that will enhance your walk with God, whilst preparing you to engage with the world in a new way.
Studying theology at London School of Theology is not simply a detached academic exercise. We hope to integrate your learning into Christian formation within the School’s spiritual life.
Our devotional life is central to our identity as Theological College. That’s why we encourage you to study the Scriptures in class, in personal devotions, in study groups, and in Chapel worship. Growing in personal knowledge of the Lord—through prayer, reflection, and action—is as vital as academic study. Spiritual formation is holistic and lifelong.
London School of Theology is a place where people seek God's face to discern his calling—whether to pastoral, missionary or charity work, visionary leadership, or the secular workplace.
At the same time, studying at London School of Theology is truly an academic exercise! Our mission is to attain the highest standards, developing your knowledge and skills in theology, music, and counselling. While we are rigorous, we recognise our students come from diverse backgrounds. We support you in achieving your best, with growing investment in Learning Support—a significant benefit to our students and their success.
London School of Theology is also a community of scholars, staff and students—on campus, online or blended—committed to building relationships. You’re likely to form lifelong friendships because of the depth of community you’ll experience.
Our motto, from Colossians 3:2, ‘Set your minds on things above,' reminds us our identity is in Christ, seated at the right hand of the Father. Our lives, by the Holy Spirit, are united with him and his mission.
It reminds us that our fundamental identity is in Christ. He is the centre of our lives within the kingdom of God. He is the one who is seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven. Our lives, by means of the Holy Spirit, are united with him and his mission in the world. LST’s vision is forming disciples, resourcing churches and impacting society. We hope and pray that you will walk more closely with Jesus because of your time with us, be an important human and spiritual resource for the local, national and global church and become an influencer in society for the sake of the Kingdom of God.
We wish you every blessing as you explore where you should study in the next season of your life. Please do get in touch with us. We’d love to chat about study options with you.
