Our Story

1993–2005: The Vision Begins

Tom and Inga Haase felt a clear call from God to plant churches and raise up pastors who could lead with conviction and faith. Guided by Marc Shaw in Frankfurt, they began training young leaders while planting 3 new churches over the next 12 years — laying the groundwork for what would become THS.

2006–2010: The Birth of THS

In 2008, Tom and Inga Haase launched TreibHaus Silber (THS) — meaning “Greenhouse Silver.” This new branch focused entirely on raising full-time pastors and church planters, marking the true birth of THS Academy’s pastoral leadership training.

2011–2015: Becoming a Recognized Academy

By 2011, THS evolved into a non-denominational theological academy, sending out its first graduates. In 2013, THS established its first campus in Bingen am Rhein, and by 2015, it received official recognition from the German government as an accredited college.

2016–2018: Expansion Across Nations

THS multiplied into new locations in Nuremberg and Berlin, and by 2017, launched internationally with new campuses in Kenya and the USA. In 2018, THS USA went fully online, pioneering affordable, global theological education through live Zoom classrooms.

2019–Present: A Global Online Movement

When COVID-19 struck, THS was already equipped to thrive online. Students from Africa, Europe, and the Americas now learn together in real time — forming a global community of pastors in training. From its base in Spokane, Washington, THS continues to seek, train, and send leaders who build the Church worldwide.
