Who We Are
At Doulos Theological Seminary, Thiruvalla, we are devoted to shaping committed servants of Christ who will passionately carry the message of the Gospel to the unreached communities across the Indian subcontinent.
Our mission is rooted in the Great Commission to train, send, and support men and women called to make disciples and establish Christ-centered churches in places where the Gospel is yet to be heard. With a curriculum deeply anchored in the Word of God and enriched with hands-on ministry experience, we equip our students with a strong biblical foundation, practical ministry skills, and a heart for cross-cultural mission work.
Our Mission
At Doulos, students become part of a vibrant community where spiritual growth, academic excellence, and practical ministry are seamlessly integrated. Our mission is to enter the mission field fully equipped, empowered, and emboldened to serve as agents of spiritual renewal and bearers of God's love, grace, and mercy.
Our Vision
Inspired by the mandate of 2 Timothy 2:2, our vision is to cultivate a vibrant and spiritually enriching learning environment with disciple-making at its core. We are dedicated to raising up godly leaders who will, in turn, disciple others, creating a ripple effect of faith, leadership, and service that spans generations.
Our Values
At Doulos Theological Seminary, our values are rooted in the life, teachings, and lordship of Jesus Christ.
