Continental Theological Seminary

Awakening to ministry. This is the essence of Continental Theological Seminary. Right here in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, near Brussels, stands a testament to Pentecostal higher education. Continental Theological Seminary has been shaping lives and ministries since its humble beginnings in 1959. It started as Emmanuel Bible Institute in Andrimont, Belgium, under the guidance of Victor G. Greisen. He was a key figure in the Assemblies of God (USA). The seminary later transitioned to Brussels, becoming Continental Bible College in Sint-Genesius-Rode. The institution continued to grow. It eventually found its home in a historic chateau in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw in 1977. The chateau, known as Rattendaal Castle, underwent extensive renovations. It began a new chapter in the seminary’s story in 1978. Further expansions included a new chapel and classroom building in 1985 and a dormitory complex in 1990. With the introduction of a Graduate Studies Program, the college officially became Continental Theological Seminary in 1991. Continental Theological Seminary is more than just an institution. It is a vibrant hub for international Pentecostal studies. It welcomes students from diverse backgrounds, offering programs in English and French. The seminary provides undergraduate and graduate degrees, including a Master of Theology accredited by the Flemish government. It also caters to those seeking personal spiritual growth. The seminary’s commitment extends beyond academics. It strives to develop students spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, and culturally, preparing them for a life of service to God and humanity.
