History
Westminster Theological Centre began at St Mary's, Bryanston Square, Central London, in 2006, under the leadership of Crispin Fletcher-Louis and with the support of the Vicar of St Mary's (John Peters) and members of the church. Its courses aim to deliver theological training to students who remain based in their home churches and contexts of influence. The Centre has expanded its academic staff, and in 2013, Lucy Peppiatt became the second Principal of WTC. In 2014, WTC expanded into Northern Europe with the addition of its Stockholm Hub.
Hubs
The unique flavour of studying with WTC is largely defined by the experience of studying locally in a worshipping and learning community known as a Hub. This creative model fosters an environment where students join prophetic, worshipping communities that learn together. Hubs meet on Monday or Tuesday evenings, depending on the location, and are environments in which you can form meaningful relationships with your fellow students, have time and space to discuss the issues arising in the teaching as well as worshipping together.
Our Hubs are where the learning community takes shape:
- students meet for lectures, tutorials, worship, and dialogue from week to week
- face-to-face and video-conferenced teaching occur in a community context
- friends are made and ideas germinate
- vision takes root and is prayed into action
Each Hub has a Hub Director (HD) who is responsible for creating a great worshipping and learning environment in the Hub that enables you to feel supported in your studies. The HD is a student’s main point of contact with WTC, and WTC’s main point of contact with our host church partner.
Hubs are located in Bristol, East Anglia, East Sussex, Exeter, Guernsey, Hampshire, Jersey, Manchester, North East London, Northern Ireland, South London, Stockholm and West Midlands.
