ETS is committed to training leaders by entrusting the teachings of the Scripture to faithful men and women who will be able to teach others also (2 Tim 2:2).
The ministry programs at ETS seek to prepare men for a ministry of Bible exposition as pastors, teachers and leaders. Our post-graduate programs prepare Christians for a life of ministry with the ability to expound and interpret the Scriptures in a memorable and edifying way, in order to share God’s Word with Christians and unbelievers alike.
The Master of Theology (M.Th.), Master of Arts in Biblical Studies (MABS) degrees and the D.Min. program are accredited by the Asia Theological Association (ATA). We are currently pursuing accreditation for our Ph.D. program and will apply for accreditation for our M.A. in Christian Studies by 2020.
