Central Taiwan Theological Seminary, or “Chung Tai Theological Seminary”, is a theological seminary located in Taichung City, Taiwan. Originally named “Bible Academy,” it was founded in 1951 and renamed Chung Tai Theological Seminary in 1959. In 1978, it became the first Taiwanese president, Pastor Su Hsiao-hsing; prior to that, the position was held by Western missionaries.
Founded in October 1951 as “Bible Academy” through a collaboration between the Far East Missionary Society (now the International Missionary Society) and the Holy Church in Taiwan, with Pastor Chi Ai-mu as its first president, the seminary initially rented two villas at No. 24 Taiping Road.
In 1952, with the assistance of Taichung Mayor Yang Chi-hsien, the seminary purchased 2.9 mu of land in Lane 45, Section 2, Shuangshi Road for its campus. Construction began with a donation from Bob Pierce, founder of World Vision.
The building was completed in 1953 and named “Pierce Hall” in his honor.
In 1959, the school was renamed “Chung Tai Theological Seminary.”
In 1964, the curriculum was changed to a credit system.
In 1968, a theological studies program was added.
In 1972, approximately 2,500 ping (approximately 667 square meters) of land on Sanmin Road was sold to raise funds for the construction of classrooms, an auditorium, and dormitories.
In 1980, the Taichung City Government acquired 517 ping (approximately 343 square meters) of land to widen Jinnan Street.
In 1989, the Taichung City Government acquired 365 ping (approximately 243 square meters) of land to develop Jinxin Street; Bachelor’s degrees were recognized by the Asian Theological Association.
In 1994, the Asian Theological Association recognized Master’s degrees.
On March 12, 1999, the International Missionary Society donated 75% of the 5,000 ping (approximately 343 square meters) of land to the school.
In 2006, the Shuangshi Road campus was sold to Yimin Construction, and the school relocated to Linsen Road. The following year, all buildings on the Shuangshi Road campus were demolished, leaving only the remains of the gateposts and the coconut palm-lined avenue.
