Presbyterian Theological Seminary History

Presbyterian Theological Seminary (PTS) was founded in 1969 to train men and women from a Bible-believing, Reformed perspective for service in God’s kingdom. The Seminary began with seven students on the roll in Roorkee, then a part of the state of Uttar Pradesh. In 1978 PTS moved to its present location in Dehradun.

            

 The decision to establish a Presbyterian Seminary to prepare pastors, teachers and other leaders was made on February 1, 1969 at a joint meeting of two evangelical presbyteries – the North India Presbytery of the Bible Presbyterian Church (BPC) and the Saharanpur Presbytery of the Reformed Presbyterian Church RPC).
