Our Mission

The mission of the Evangelical Theological Seminary is to promote theological higher education and spiritual growth, for missions and church ministry, amid the challenges of modern society. Answering the Great Commission’s call to missions in the conditions that characterize the modern world, especially urban society, is becoming increasingly complex. The need for excellent education and practical training of future church workers and ministers becomes a condition without which the Church is no longer able to effectively promote the evangelical message in the contemporary context of mega-trends: culture of globalization, democracy, increasing migration, explosion of knowledge, availability of information, communication technologies, polarization in wealth and knowledge, centralization of decision-making and governance, urbanization, moral crises, local and regional conflicts and wars, and the exponential intensification of the rhythm of life.

This modern social context poses additional, serious challenges for the Church and all of Christ’s followers in effectively following their calling to execute Christ’s last command: Go and make disciples of all nations…

EVANGELICAL THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY – EDUCATION FOR MINISTRY, SOCIETY, AND LIFE!
