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.

Dr. Alexander NegrovPresident of St. Petersburg Christian University

Welcome to Saint-Petersburg Christian University (SPbCU), which was founded in 1990 as an institution of professional religious education, organized to train Christians for e�ective ministry and leadership in Church and society.

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.”
