About The Centre

About Hudson Taylor Centre for Chinese Ministries

The Centre is named after Hudson Taylor (1832-1905), pioneer missionary to China and founder of the China Inland Mission (CIM), now Overseas Missionary Fellowship (OMF). Taylor, who trained to be a medical doctor in his native England, became a missionary to China in 1854. At the time of Taylor's death, about 30,000 people in China had converted to Christianity due to the efforts of Taylor and the other CIM workers.

In naming the Centre after Hudson Taylor, the Seminary has commited itself to continuing this great legacy. According to Dr. Jeffrey Greenman, former Academic Dean at Tyndale Seminary:

"The Hudson Taylor Centre is a strategic new venture. It unites Tyndale's strong heritage of missionary concern with our strong commitment to serving the Chinese churches of North America and beyond."
