»My time at ETS was formative for my life and my ministry. My horizon was broadened, my character was shaped and talents were nurtured.
ETS – the place to be equipped!«
Markus Gold
Former National Youth Leader, Church of God Germany
»ETS was a personal transformative experience. It shaped my life and prepared me for further ministry. In particular, the Holy-Spirit-guided process of the integration of knowing (learning), being (identity), and doing (mission) is paramount for personal development as well as the approach to theological education and spiritual formation as a whole.«
Jürgen Rudolph
Christian Education Coordinator, COG Africa
»I had the opportunity to attend ETS from 1982 to 1985. Over thirty-five years later, I still credit ETS for helping to mold my character and shape my ministry perspective. I am eternally grateful for the global impact of this small college.«
Bishop Dr. R. C. Hugh Nelson
Senior Pastor, East Flatbush COG, Brooklyn, NY, USA
»In 2005 I came to ETS for three years. This time was a very blessed time for me in which I was able to learn a lot. I was able to grow spiritually and, as I was placed in many leadership positions, I also became more confident and courageous. I am very grateful to God for this time of preparation into service in missions. Thank you to all my teachers and the leadership of ETS.«
Christina Drotleff
Missionary, Tanzania
»Our time at ETS was not only impacted by the knowledge we earned through the theological courses but also and in our eyes most importantly by the change of character we both went through. God used ETS so much to form and prepare us for the ministry we’re now in.«
Micha & Chiara Gleich
Youth Pastor GEGO Allmersbach im Tal
»I had the opportunity to attend ETS in the Rudersberg location. My experience at ETS was such a great time and the time there played an important part in the development of my calling! Good friends, good teaching, good music training and a good God; all I met and got at ETS.«
Markus Göhner
Pastor/ General Secretary, CZV Crailsheim – Volksmission
