South African Theological Seminary
After much prayer and research into distance learning management and practices, the Seminary opened its doors to the public in June 1996 . The original staff team consisted of three people: Dr Christopher Peppler, the visionary founder and first Principal, Quinton Howitt, a course writer who would go on to earn his PhD in theology, and Jenny Mason, the Registrar.
In 2002, our offices moved from their original location at the Lonehill Village Church to Rivonia. We had 98 students enrolled and we were growing. The full-time staff complement had increased to seven staff members. In 2006, Dr Reuben van Rensburg became the Principal and Dr Christopher Peppler continued to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
