THEOLOGY FOR THE CHURCH

The Lutheran School of Theology in Aarhus (LSTA) – Menighedsfakultetet in Danish – is an independent evangelical Lutheran institution for theological education, research, and public engagement.

Founded in 1967, LSTA was established by pastors and laypeople within the Danish National Lutheran Church who desired a theological institution rooted in the authority of Scripture, the Lutheran confessions, and the mission of the Church. Since 1972, LSTA has equipped students for ministry, mission, teaching, and Christian leadership in Denmark and beyond.

EDUCATION

Since 2019, students in Aarhus have been able to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Theology offered by Fjellhaug International University College (FIUC), Norway.

The programme is delivered in Aarhus in cooperation with LSTA. It is a four-year part-time Bachelor’s-level programme. FIUC is responsible for accreditation, examinations, and degree award, while LSTA provides the local academic environment and student community.

The programme prepares students for ministry, mission, Christian education, and further theological studies.
