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.
