Lutheran Theological Seminary (Hong Kong)

In 1913, the Central China Union Theological Seminary () was founded in Shekow, Hubei, China, by Hauge’s Synod Mission, American Lutheran Mission, Norwegian Missionary Society and Finnish Missionary Society. The first President was Dr. O. R. Wold, an American Norwegian. In 1923, the school was renamed "the Lutheran Theological Seminary" (LTS, 信義神學院). At the end of 1948, due to the turbulent situation in mainland China, the seminary relocated south to Hong Kong. 41 students resumed classes in Tao Fung Shan Christian Centre. By 2008, the school had over 300 students, over 20 teachers, and a library with over 80,000 books, the largest collection among the Chinese seminaries in the world. ==Programs==
