Now, take a look and meet our faculty:

This is our international team and we feel blessed and honoured to share fellowship with each other and in working together. We extend our best wishes to the visitors of our pages and greet you in the Lord! If you are interested in becoming a student at our Seminary, we are really looking forward to working with you!

This page was long due for updating, especially with respect to our Faculty, many of whom have successfully graduated with their Ph.D. some time ago meanwhile. We apologise to them for not having done so earlier; it was simply forgotten due to the tremendous working load in the International Office here.
