Why choose Solas?

Key Features of our
Master of Arts Programme

Original Languages

We believe that those called to handle God’s Word should be proficient in navigating the Scriptures in their original languages. Therefore, Solas students will receive instruction in Greek, Hebrew, and other exegetical tools to deepen their understanding of the Bible’s riches.

Biblico-Systematic Theology

Emerging from biblical exegesis are two essential theological disciplines: Biblical Theology, which traces specific truths along the storyline of Scripture, and Systematic Theology, which synthesises the Bible’s teachings into a logical system. Solas emphasises the importance of both disciplines in the contemporary church.

Confessional Heritage

Solas serves all branches of Protestant Christianity that uphold the ecumenical creeds: the Apostles’ Creed, the Athanasian Creed, and the Nicene Creed. Solas regards the Presbyterian and Reformed confessions as accurate expansions of these creeds and a summary of the Bible’s teachings. Our faculty teach from the perspective of the Westminster Standards or the Three Forms of Unity.

Taught by Pastor-Theologians

Most of our teaching faculty serve as elders of a local church. Their teaching not only informs minds but aim at the heart for humble service in the church.

Church-Embedded Students

To best serve the church upon graduation, Solas requires its students to be active members of a local church during their seminary education. In line with this conviction, Solas mandates a report from each student’s pastor every semester, detailing their spiritual formation and contributions to the church.

We believe that God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them out of nothing and that humanity was created inWe believe that Adam and Eve, our first parents, fell into sin and that all humanity inherits their fallen nature and stands condemned before God. Therefore, all humans have an image defaced by sin, deviate from God’s design, commit sin, and inherit eternal punishment.God’s image. As a result of this indelible stamp of divinity, all human beings have an innate dignity irrespective of their beliefs, sexuality or practice.

We believe in the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church, the body of Christ, composed of all true believers. We believe in the importance of the local church, prayer, the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and the ministry of the Word as the means to fight against Satan, the world and the self and grow in enjoying the Father, Son and Spirit. We are committed to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to his Church and to furnishing her with servants who will make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to observe all things that Christ has commanded.
