Baptist Theological Seminary [Ministry of Home Affairs [http://mha.nic.in/fd-ar0304/9.3Reported%20Associations%20for%202003-04%5CAndhra%20Pradesh.htm] List of organizations] is a Baptist seminary located in Jagannaickpur, Church Square, Kakinada in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, India.

It was established by the missionaries of the Canadian Baptist Mission about a century ago.

Dedication

To Rev. S.E. Krupa Rao, a past Principal of this Seminary.

Background

More than a century ago, missionaries from Canada stepped onto coastal Andhra Pradesh to spread the Gospel. The area of their operation included the district of Srikakulam in the north through the district of Krishna in the south. This apart from their work in the interiors of Orissa.

Foundation of a seminary was a natural consequence of their work.

In the beginning, the seminary was affiliated to the Senate of Serampore College (University) [Please refer to Andhra Christian Theological College - The Kretzmann's Commission] . However, with the formation of the Andhra Christian Theological College (ACTC) in 1964, the seminary began sending its students for Bachelor of Theology and Bachelor of Divinity to ACTC.

After the formation of ACTC, an ecumenical seminary in Rajahmundry in 1964, the BTS got itself amalgamated into it for Senate approved courses.

However, the BTS began offering self managed and operated Graduate of Theology courses under the seal of the Seminary Council since then.

eminary Council

The Seminary presently is overseen by a Council comprising of Pastors belonging to the Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars.
