EFCTS is a lifelong learning centre, offering many possibilities for study. We invite you to consider studying with us in one of the following programs:

 

  • MA program “Theology and Society“ is taught both in English and Estonian and is in hybrid format;
  • BA progam “Free Church Theology and Leadership“ is currently only in the Estonian language;
  • Micro degrees “Bible for Yourself and for Teaching“, “ABCs of Pastoral Care“, “Basic Course for Church Leaders“, “Evangelical Communication in Secular Society“;
  • Short courses (3-9 ECTS) both in English and Estonian.   

The school is internationally connected to several Erasmus partners, offering rich experiences to its students. Our faculty has a group of experienced PhD level members, but welcomes every year some new younger members also. Come and see!

 

EFCTS was founded on 1922 as a vocational school to prepare preachers for Estonian Free Church congregations. During 1940-1989 the school was closed because of the Soviet Union atheistic rule. As soon as free air started to blow, even before official freedom came, the school was re-opened in 1989, but  as University-level school. Read more
