Kyiv - Evangelical Reformed Seminary of Ukraine

(ERSU)

About

The Evangelical Reformed Seminary of Ukraine is the denominational seminary of the Presbyterian and Reformed churches in Ukraine. We have been training men for the gospel ministry (and other church leaders) in these and other evangelical denominations since 2000.

 

We have our own building near Holosiivskyi Metro in Kyiv. Students attend in a modular format, with two weeks of intensive all-day lectures occurring 5 times a year. We have MDiv and MA programs and our graduates have gone on to be pastors, counselors, chaplains, theological scholars, and Bible translation consultants.

 

The seminary also offers an online college to provide greater theological training to laypeople, and publishes a theological journal.

 

We are proud of our students who have volunteered or been drafted into service in the defense of their homeland against the Russian invasion.

 

Keep praying for a just peace.

Pray for

  • Safety. Attacks on Kyiv have further intensified since September, making it difficult to recommend our students attend in person. Pray for God to protect our staff and students.
  • Our next session: October 26th to November 6th. There are now severe electricity shortages in the Kyiv region due to relentless Russian attacks.
  • Pray for a recent health issue in one of our faculty’s family.
  • The safety of our students who are serving in the army or in dangerous areas near the front.
  • Our students, who are serving in the military due to the war, to be able to return to their studies as soon as possible.
  • Our offered conferences and seminars to equip the wider Ukrainian Church in their role as shepherds and challenge unbelievers to follow Christ.
  • God to continue to protect our building and provide funds for our operations.

Praise for

  • A good first two weeks of sessions – we now break until October.
  • Safety and no disruptions to electricity and internet during the sessions
  • God keeping our current students and former graduates safe, especially those who are serving on the front lines.
  • God protecting our building, especially with the many ballistic attacks that have happened this month and destroyed civilian structures.
  • God providing financially for our students and seminary operations.
