Highland Theological College (HTC)

It gives me great pleasure to sing the praises of this College. On a recent visit, I was given such a warm welcome. The staff treated me with kindness and generosity. It made me proud to be a Christian!



Mission Statement

Highland Theological College UHI exists to provide opportunities for men and women to study the Christian faith, on a full-time, part-time or open learning basis, from an evangelical and Reformed perspective, in the context of a worshipping community.

The College is committed to high academic standards of teaching and learning in its Access, undergraduate and postgraduate level courses. Through its staff and students, the College seeks to make a contribution to biblical and theological scholarship.

The College also seeks to serve the churches of the Highlands and Islands by responding to requests for training and education.

Above all, our intention is to glorify the one God, who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit and who has chosen to make himself known to us.

Statement of Faith

The Basis of Faith of the Company [Highland Theological College Ltd.] and of the members is as follows:

Believing that there is but one only, the living and true God, and that there are three persons in the godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and that these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory and with solemn awareness of accountability to him in all that we feel, think, say and do, we engage in and subscribe to this declaration:

All Scripture is self-attesting and being truth requires the human mind wholeheartedly to subject itself in all its activities to the authority of Scripture complete as the Word of God standing written in the sixty-six books of the Holy Bible, all therein being verbally inspired by Almighty God and therefore without error;

Reformed Theology set forth in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms is the system of doctrine taught in Scripture and, therefore, is to be learned, taught and proclaimed for the edification and government of Christian people, for the propagation of the faith and for the evangelization of the world by the power of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Members of the College (both staff and students) really do try and live out the gospel - they have much to teach me!

Firmly I believe and truly
God is Three, and God is One;
And I next acknowledge duly
Manhood taken by the Son.

And I trust and hope most fully
In that Manhood crucified;
And each thought and deed unruly
Do to death, as He has died.

Simply to His grace and wholly
Light and life and strength belong,
And I love supremely, solely,
Him the holy, Him the strong.

Adoration aye be given,
With and through the angelic host,
To the God of earth and Heaven,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Blessed John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
