The Path of Theological Training Traveled by Our Graduates

　　With God’s calling, our brothers and sisters in Christ joined the Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary (HKBTS), and stepped onto the path of theological training. Along the way, there is much more than studying Bible and theology, refining their pastoral skills, and developing their spiritual characters. Our students have also learned through the “hidden curriculum” of their fellowship and interactions in our disciple community, experiencing God’s love and healing in addition to reflecting on their relationships with God, others and the community. They also strive to deepen their faith by seeking understanding as well as living out that faith. May they continue to remain true to their original aspirations, keep their mission firmly in mind and become good ministers and pastors.

　　Now let’s take a moment to listen to the graduates of our Main Programs from this year who would like to share their reflections on the theological training they received.

These questions were triggered by my service and faith experience. Being young and untrained in theology, I thought seminary must be the place to seek answers to these questions and that I would be able to find the answers there. ...

How Do I Learn to “Do Theology”?

Eric Wong (MCS), Master of Christian Studies Eric Wong and other students reviewed their three-year study life. They said that the theological training not only enabled them to gain knowledge, but also enabled them to serve the church more effectively. The teachings in the seminary made me realize that "thinking seriously about God, preaching seriously about God, and bearing witness to God seriously" is our responsibility as created beings and the true purpose of our creation. Theology is important to the Christian community because it concerns how we know God and how we know others around us. ...
