Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Dehradun
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
It gives me immense joy to welcome you to the Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Dehradun — a place of learning, spiritual formation, and faithful preparation for Christian ministry. Our seminary stands committed to nurturing men and women who are grounded in the Word of God, enriched by theological reflection, and equipped to serve the Church and society with integrity, compassion, and wisdom.
In today’s rapidly changing world, theological education must go beyond academic excellence. It must shape character, deepen faith, and inspire a life of discipleship and service. At Presbyterian Theological Seminary, we strive to provide an environment where students grow intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and socially. Through rigorous academic programs, worship life, community fellowship, and practical ministry exposure, we seek to prepare leaders who can faithfully respond to the challenges of contemporary society while remaining rooted in biblical truth.
Our vision is to cultivate servant leaders who embody Christ-like values and contribute meaningfully to the mission of God in the world. We encourage our students to pursue excellence in scholarship while developing a heart for ministry, justice, peace, and reconciliation.
I express my sincere gratitude to our dedicated faculty, staff, alumni, churches, and well-wishers whose prayers and support continue to strengthen the ministry of this institution. Together, we remain committed to the calling of theological education for the transformation of individuals, communities, and the wider Church.
I warmly invite you to explore the opportunities and vibrant community life at Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Dehradun. May God guide and bless you as you seek His purpose for your life and ministry.
With prayers and blessings,
Rev. Abhishek Barla

It is encouraging to see the developments at PTS since my first visit in 1999. Though with limited resources, PTS keeps and develops a healthy spiritual and academic environment where lessons for life are learnt. PTS is a place where academic excellence, combined with fellowship and commitment to serve in God’s world are lived and taught in theory and practice.
For ten years I have been visiting churches in India and I have met many PTS graduates in action. Repeatedly I am impressed by the level of their knowledge – not only about the Word, but also about the practicalities of how to do church on an everyday basis. They combine a strong focus on living out the Mission of God (loving God and others and bringing new people into that family of love) with strong administrative and governing skills, creating a safe environment for those entrusted to their loving care.
PTS has a well-trained and capable teaching staff who guide their students into the depths of God’s word with an appreciation for a Reformed and Evangelical theological framework.. Within this context PTS seeks to form godly leaders for the 21st century church in ways that will help them to impact the whole of society with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus. I have been greatly blessed by my visits to PTS and I would highly recommend it as a place of training for Christian ministry.
Presbyterian Theological Seminary, beautifully located in the Himalayan foothills, with onsite accommodation, is a fully accredited Seminary in the Reformed tradition, providing superb Bible based training for pastors, evangelists, and those engaged in women’s and children’s ministries. The Presbyterian Church of Australia counts it a privilege to partner with PTS, and to support the Seminary in practical ways.
