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.

Our Provincial Study Centres
One of the imperatives CTS set for itself from the outset was to make the study courses more accessible to potential students located all over the island.
The zeal for this initiative grew from the founding decision to establish a trilingual seminary offering degree programmes in Sinhala, Tamil and English with a view to fulfil the Church’s responsibility for indigenous and contextualized mission, and to resource the Church with teachers, preachers, and theologians who could minister in the vernacular.
Today, apart from the Kohuwela campus, CTS programmes are accessible in nine locations across five provinces.
