History

Queen's Theological College was founded in 1841 when the Presbyterian Church in Canada obtained a Royal Charter to establish Queen's University. When the University opened its doors in 1842, there were 11 students. In 1911, the Faculty of Theology was separated from Queen's University. Queen's Theological College was created by an Act of Parliament on April 1, 1912. Queen's Theological College entered the newly formed United Church of Canada in 1925.

Originally the Faculty of Theology, it traces its origin to 1841 when the Presbyterian Church in Canada obtained a Royal Charter to establish Queen's. In 1911, the Faculty of Theology decided to separate from the rapidly growing university (Queen's became secular in 1912). On April 1, 1912, Queen's Theological College was created by an Act of Parliament with its own Board of Management

In 1925, Queen's Theological College entered the newly formed United Church of Canada, where it remains today. Queen's Theological College is one of six colleges in the United Church with primary responsibility for educating persons for ordained ministry, and is fully accredited by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.
