About Faith Theological Seminary

The story of Faith Theological Seminary is inseparable from the story of the Nasir family — six generations of faithful Christian service stretching from the 19th century to today.

It began with Elder Roshan Lall Nasir, and continued through his son Rev. Boota Mall, who served the church with distinction in the early years of Pakistani Christianity.

The legacy reached its most visible expression in Dr. K. L. Nasir — founder of Faith Theological Seminary, renowned scholar, and architect of the Reformed Presbyterian movement in Pakistan, whose influence was felt as far as the United States.

His son — a Bishop and retired Major of the Pakistan Army — served as Moderator and Bishop of the United Presbyterian Church Pakistan and as Principal of Faith Theological Seminary, bringing both military discipline and pastoral wisdom to institutional leadership.

The next generation continued the calling: the late Rev. Sharoon T. Nasir gave his life in service to the Lord (Moderator of UP Church Pakistan, 2011–2016), and Rev. Dr. Shaleem T. Nasir (currently in Germany) has carried the theological tradition internationally. Their brother, the late Elder Kamil Nasir, served faithfully as Seminary Administrator from 2011 to 2026 and as Moderator of the United Presbyterian Church Pakistan.

Today the legacy continues with Mrs. Ambreen Kamil Nasir serving as the current Administrator, and Elder Kundan Lall Nasir jr., ordained on Palm Sunday 2026, serving as Registrar of the very institution his great-grandfather founded — the sixth generation of his family in a ministry that has shaped Pakistani Christianity for over 150 years.
