Information in English
STI – Theological Institute of Finland
(STI Suomen teologinen instituutti)
STI
- teaches Theology,
- is engaged in Theological research,
- is founded on the Bible as the Word of God and on the Confession of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
- supports students of theology in their studies and spiritual life,
- was founded in 1987 by seven organisations of the different Finnish revival movements and is financed mainly by voluntary contributions.
Why STI?
- The church needs workers who believe in the Bible,
- The education offered by the state administered universities does not lay a reliable foundation for work in the kingdom of God, it might even demolish the faith in the Word of God and in the validity of Christ’s atonement
- There is a need for an alternative tuition, founded on the Bible and the confession of the church
To this end STI
- Employes a small staff
- Arranges lectures, seminars and courses, often with outside lecturers,
- Offers students opportunities for short time mission work,
- Maintains a library at the disposal of students of theology,
- Publishes theological periodicals,
- Offers students of theology in Helsinki a spiritual oasis.
