Equipping Godly Servant-Leaders for the Body of Christ

Church-based theological education in Chennai, accredited by the NTA.

Welcome to
Vera May Whittingham Memorial
College of Theology

Welcome to the Vera May Whittingham Memorial College of Theology. We are a community dedicated to one profound purpose: raising up the next generation of servant-leaders to strengthen and build the Church.

Here, education is more than academic; it is a spiritual journey rooted in God’s Word and practiced within the life of your own local church community. We invite you to explore our unique programs and discover how God might be calling you to a life of deeper service and leadership.

Rt. Rev. Dr. M. Stanley Jose Founder & President

Our purpose is rooted in a single, foundational mission: to glorify God by equipping godly servant-leaders for the proclamation of His Word and the building up of the body of Christ.

We achieve this by providing a robust theological education that integrates deep biblical knowledge with the practical skills needed for pastoral care and ministry. Our commitment extends beyond academics to the spiritual formation of each student, shaping leaders of character, integrity, and mature faith.

THE MISSION is to glorify God by equipping godly servant-leaders for the proclamation of His Word and the building up of the body of Christ.
