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.
