Jakarta Theological Seminary (JTS) is the oldest university-level theological seminary in Indonesia, located at the center of the capital of the republic. Jakarta Theological Seminary (JTS) was pioneered by Dr. Hendrik Kraemer and founded in 1934. Prof. Dr. Theodor Müller-Krüger became the first principal of the school. From the beginning, he had emphasized the need of developing a theologia in loco (local theology) in Indonesia, especially through this seminary. Since its beginning, JTS had felt it necessary to take a key role in developing theological thought that will enable the church to respond to the continually changing situations it faces; while on the other hand to be able to develop theological thought that guides Indonesia’s journey, in accordance with the hopes of all people. Until today, we are continuing this tradition of developing theologia in loco (theology in context). The school was supported by several churches in existence at that time, among others the Protestant Church in Indonesia (De Protestantse Kerk in Nederlands- Indié) and the Batak Protestant Christian Church (Huria Kristen Batak Protestan). Eventually the number of supporting churches increased to sixteen, plus the Communion of the Churches in Indonesia (CCI or PGI) representing all members besides the 14 churches supporting the seminary directly. Lecturers and students came from many different denominations and thus the seedbed of the ecumenical movement in Indonesia was planted. Our students come from approximately 30 church synods. Our master’s and doctoral programs enjoy the trust of many theological schools for training and preparing their future lecturers or improving the quality of those who are already in service. Through its own graduate studies programs as well as through its participation in the South East Asia Graduate School of Theology (SEAGST), until 2012, JTS has produced around 200 masters and 50 doctors of theology.
