About Our Institution

Founded in 1999 as the Center for Biblical Studies (CBS) in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, our institution opened its doors in Bamenda, Cameroon in September 1999. Over the years, we have evolved to meet the growing needs of our student body and the communities we serve. In 2019, we celebrated our 20th anniversary with a major restructuring, transforming from CBS to IST and expanding our programs to include Master’s degrees.
