Embark On Your Theological Training At STM<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

STM is an excellent choice for theological education. With STM\u2019s inter-denominational, trilingual and multi-ethnic context, seminarians and pastors-in-training can undergo authentic theological education, where they can relate to each other meaningfully and, at the same time, foster Christian love and unity. Our primary objective is to train God\u2019s people to be mission-minded pastors and church workers to meet the growing needs of churches and the demanding challenges of the world. To meet these different needs, we offer different in-campus programmes in English, Chinese and Bahasa Malaysia.<\/p>\n

Our in-campus theological programmes\u2014the Bachelor of Theology (BTh), the Bachelor of Divinity (BD), the Master of Divinity (MDiv)\u2014are all accredited by the Association for Theological Education in South East Asia (ATESEA). Our programmes have a strong emphasis on biblical studies, theology and history, practical theology, as well as pastoral studies.<\/p>\n

In order to train and develop the church leadership in Malaysia, part-time Theological Education by Extension (TEE) programmes are offered to lay Christians, who can also benefit from theological education. Our TEE programmes are conducted in English, Chinese, Tamil and Bahasa Malaysia, in various locations, such as Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Kampar, and Kuching. The STM-KL Centre\u2014located at the heart of Kuala Lumpur at Level 3, Wisma Methodist, Lorong Hang Jebat\u2014serves as the base of operations for our English and Chinese TEE programmes. The STM-KL Centre is also gearing towards fully becoming STM\u2019s centre for postgraduate studies in the near future.<\/p>\n

In order to meet the increasing demand for professional and visionary pastor-leaders, STM offers various postgraduate programmes in English and Chinese: the Master of Ministry (MMin) was launched in 1998, the Doctor of Ministry (DMin) in 2008, and the Master of Theology (MTh) in 1995. These programmes have since been accredited by ATESEA in 2016, 2017 and 2012 respectively.<\/p>\n

Applications are now open for STM in-campus programmes for 2023; the closing date is 1 October 2022. We welcome applicants who are Christians of good standing in the church, over 20 years old with at least two years of working experience, and who have a genuine desire for Christian service.
