Maktab Teologi Sabah (MTS) was founded as the Sekolah Teologia Pertama (STP) in 1965 by the SIB Sabah (Evangelical Church of Borneo in Sabah). The leadership of SIB Sabah saw the need to have its own theological institution to train locals for the ministry. It was upgraded to be known as MTS by the General Conference of SIB Sabah in 1993. The school’s mission is to equip and train full-time workers of SIB and from other denominations to serve in the areas of evangelism, pastoral, Bible teaching, and Christian education in the local context and overseas.
MTS offers Certificate in Theology (Cert. Th.) in MTS Namaus campus; Certificate in Theology (Cert. Th.) in MTS Melangkap extension campus in Kota Belud; Diploma in Theology (Dip. Th.) in MTS Namaus campus; and Bachelor
