A Word From Our Alumni

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

National Youth Leader
Church of God
Germany

ETS is a special place that transformed my life and prepared me for a long-term fruitful life in full-time ministry. At ETS I met my wife, grew closer to God and dug deeper in His Word... I came to ETS with one bag and today God has given me a godly wife, healthy children who love Jesus, a house, a growing church and so much more... and ETS played a major role in the unfolding of God’s plan for my life!

JIVKO & MAITE SERRA JACOBS

Regional Superintendent / Pastor
Central Europe West/Crossroads International Church - Freudenstadt
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 knowledge (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

I had the opportunity of attending ETS from 1982-1985. 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

The European Theological Seminary (ETS) is a wonderful place to be equipped for professional ministry. Not only is the academic level excellent but the practical opportunities for ministry that the school provides are also. I will always cherish the wonderful atmosphere at ETS and friendships that were formed during my years as a student. Today, and thanks to ETS, I am a full time minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I have had the privilege to serve in different capacities, countries, and cultures over the years. I highly recommend ETS as a place of training for those that have been called to full time ministry.

MANUEL MARTIN-ARROYO

Senior Pastor

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.

ETS is the place that has helped me not only to understand God better, but also to appreciate people and the diversity of the community. The fellowship with colleagues from all over the world and the personal relationship with teachers is unique and has led to close friendships.

ROBERT PADURETU

ETS was one of the best places of preparation for both of us for future ministry. A well-founded biblical teaching and spiritual growth that impacted our lives forever. It is also a very special place for us because here, we met each other for the first time. We are very grateful for all the teachers and fellow students who have influenced us to serve Jesus Christ.

ETS has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. It shaped me in so many different ways. During my time there, I was prepared not only academically, but also at a personal level. It broadened my understanding of God and my spiritual relationship to Him. Up to this date, I can still see the positive impact that it has had in my life. ETS will always be a special place for me.

WENDY RODRIGUEZ

National Youth Leader

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 AND CHIARA GLEICH

Pastor
Böblingen
Germany

Looking back on the 3 years I spent at ETS, I am super grateful for that time. It has shaped me and changed me in many ways. I was able to learn so many new things about God and grow in my relationship with Him. Besides that im thankful for the academic preparation that broadened my view on many things and all the beautiful encounters with special people in a special place.

DEBORAH REINBOLD

Children/Youth Ministry
Germany

Ich würde nicht lügen, wenn ich behaupte, dass meine drei Jahre auf ETS die prägendste Zeit meines Lebens waren. Für mich war es einfach genau das Richtige, auf den Berg zu steigen, abgesondert zu sein, persönlich geschliffen und theologisch ausgerüstet zu werden, Dinge auszuprobieren, Fehler zu machen, Gaben zu entdecken, Berufung festzumachen, etc. ETS ist für mich ein Stück Familie und wird immer ein besonderer Meilenstein auf meiner Lebensreise sein.
