We are grateful for every step that brought us here.

»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!«

Jürgen Rudolph
»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.«

Christina Drotleff
»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.«
