"The founding ideals of Seoul Theological University were established by Dr. Jong-nam Cho, who became the 3rd president in 1968. On January 12, 2017, at the 110th Theological Education Symposium, the proposal to amend them by reflecting the changes of time while remaining loyal to their original intent was accepted. Accordingly, the Vision and Identity Assessment Committee at Seoul Theological University made an amendment to them." [2]

The university was established to uphold a higher scholastic standard in conformity with the Wesleyan model of spiritual life so as to apply it to its students in order to cultivate dedicated missionaries who are well balanced with theological knowledge, faith and life experiences. [2]

Since 2020, the output of academic papers from this institution has almost doubled as of 2025. [3]
