The roots of Continental Theological Seminary can be traced back to the founding in 1959 of the Emmanuel Bible Institute which was located in the Château des Croisiers in Andrimont, Belgium. The institute moved to Brussels during the 1968-69 school year, and then in 1969, it moved again to larger facilities in Sint-Genesius-Rode. At this time two additional years of study were added and the name of the school was changed to Continental Bible College. Finally, the college moved to its present facilities in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw in 1977, and in 1991, the name was again changed to Continental Theological Seminary, reflecting the addition of the graduate degree program.
