About Us About LCT
A Short History
The Lahore College of Theology (LCT) came into being as a result of the vision of Rt Rev Dr Azad Marshall, which was advocated and spoken out by a famous Christian missionary, Brother Andrew. After many years of ministry in Pakistan and beyond, having gained an understanding of local needs and given the dearth of sound Biblical understanding, he envisioned a seminary where these concerns could be addressed. The curriculum and environment have been designed to train and equip Christian women and men to go forth and help bring in a harvest of souls, especially where little or no pastoral care has been available for a very long time..
In July 2010 preparations were undertaken for the commencement of the first academic session which had been scheduled to begin in September 2010. LCT was accommodated in an existing building at St Thomas’ Center until a purpose built campus was completed. In 2014 the LCT Campus was ready to take in students and faculty. These buildings are now in regular use.
Faculty members were appointed and the admission procedure began. With the enrolment of 15 students (11 male and 4 female) the first academic year 2010-2011 began as scheduled in September 2010.
