OUR MISSION
CTS is called by God to serve the Church by training men and women to be rooted in the Scriptures, filled with the Holy Spirit, mature in Christian character, and competent in ministry, according to the highest academic standards and by producing quality Christian resources.

Today, apart from the Kohuwela campus, CTS programmes are accessible in nine locations across five provinces.
