PURPOSE AND GOALS

The study of theology as a preparation for ministry has been an important part of Helderberg College since its establishment in 1893 as Claremont Union College. Since that time, the Faculty of Theology has trained over 2000 ministerial workers who have served both the SDA Church and the wider community both locally—within Southern Africa—and globally. The Faculty of Theology’s teaching staff is committed to academic rigor, excellent teaching and compassionate pastoral care. The staff in the Faculty of Theology comes from a variety of backgrounds, thus reflecting the diversity we encourage within our student body. We encourage both men and women—in response to the call of God—to attend Helderberg College to further their training and equipping for service.

Programme Description

The 4-year Bachelor of Arts (Theology) Degree (NQF-level 6) provides a foundation for pastoral ministry in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Apart from the core subjects the learner can choose from three concentrations. Each provides the basic training necessary for pastoral ministry employment in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Concentration areas: Theological Studies which provides a strong foundation for future theological or biblical studies at advanced levels; Pastoral Ministry/Evangelism which provides additional training in these areas; Pastoral Care specialization which provides additional training in psychology and pastoral counselling for those with an interest in these areas
