Currently, SPbCU is one of the leading Evangelical academic institutions in the territory of the former Soviet Union. We have close ties with Christian congregations, religious organizations, and leading academic centers in and outside of our country. We are open to new connections and partnerships for mutual enrichment and spiritual edi�cation and assistance in a better understanding of the Christian way of life. Christian pedagogical work and research in our University comes from the premise that the Divine is only partly known to us, while, at the same time, we know the Truth which allows us to answer urgent questions of Christian congregations (and of society as a whole). This also allows us to form models and methods of various practices for service to the Church and society.
The pedagogical e�orts of SPbCU are aimed at the interpretation of studies, the contextualization of learning tools, the practical implementation in life, and the transformation of the character of the faculty and students. Our professors not only understand and deepen the foundations of their disciplines but also improve their understanding of their students, their past, present and, especially, their future.
We see our students not as temporary clients, but as permanent friends, and work to create a comfortable environment for their intellectual, professional, and spiritual development.
I hope that as you choose an institution for Christian education or partnership, you will make a right decision to come to SPbCU or collaborate with us for God's glory.
Please visit our web page (www.spbcu.ru) to learn more about our educational programs, about the work of our graduates and about the ways that you might become involved with us in our important work.

Saint-Petersburg, Russia
International Program
“The International Program at SPbCU
provided an environment to learn and
explore the subtleties of the Russian culture.
From the ancient cathedrals of Novgorod to
the avant-garde gallery in Moscow, one is
exposed to the many facets of Russian faith,
history, literature, art, and philosophy;
revealing how Russia has developed
through the centuries.”

OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS
AND SPECIALISTS FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
A POSSIBILITY TO OBTAIN A CROSS-CULTURAL
EXPERIENCE WITHIN A CHRISTIAN CONTEXT
FOR INTELLECTUAL, SOCIAL, PERSONAL,
AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT.
“The International Program at SPbCU
provided an excellent opportunity to
experience the culture, history, and faith
of another country. Russia’s history and
culture also provided a unique context
for understanding how I am personally
and spiritually shaped by my cultural
surroundings. The International Program
at SPbCU has changed my thinking
about the world through the people
I have met, the historical sites I have
visited, and my day-to-day life with the
Russians around me.”
