Kyiv - Evangelical Reformed Seminary of Ukraine

(ERSU)

About

The Evangelical Reformed Seminary of Ukraine is a joint work of the Presbyterian and Reformed churches in Ukraine.

Beginning in the 1990s, ERSU is now blessed with its own building and dormitories near Holosiivskyi Metro in Kyiv. Students attend in a modular format, with two weeks of intensive, 9-5 course lectures occurring 5 times a year. If nothing happens to bump a student off course, they will graduate in 4 to 5 years, prepared to be pastors, Christian counselors, worship leaders, and Sunday school teachers.

The seminary also offers an online, intensive theology program meant to provide greater theological training to laypeople.

Unfortunately, the seminary has suffered greatly during the war as many of the students have volunteered or been drafted into service.

 

Keep praying for a just peace.

Pray for

  • Our Staff member Fedor has moved to Germany with his family. Pray for them as they adapt to life there and he takes a brief leave of abscence from seminary duties to settle in.
  • The safety of our staff and students both in their homes and as they travel to and from the session.
  • The safety of our students who are serving in the army or in humanitarian areas near the front.
  • The Seminary courses to equip our students with the tools to examine the Bible and grow in knowledge and understanding of God’s nature and love for us in order to better share it with others.
  • Our students, who have been deferred due to the war, to be able to return to their studies.
  • 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 intake of students – 7 – this year. We are excited to see how God will equip and grow them.
  • 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.
