The Stockholm School of Theology (Teologiska Högskolan i Stockholm) is an independent school for theology in Stockholm, Sweden, sponsored by the two free church denominations the Baptist Union of Sweden and the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden.
The institution has been accredited by the Swedish National Agency for Higher Education to award tertiary degrees in the field of Theology (teologie kandidat, Bachelor of Divinity).
The school declares an ecumenical ambition and students include future pastors in the two sponsoring denominations, but also a sizable group training for clerical positions in the Church of Sweden, as well as others.
