The Evangelical School of Theology (EST), located in Wroclaw, Poland, began in 1990 with only five staff members and 17 students. Today, 78 students are enrolled, many of them participating in extension courses at one of three centers (Wroclaw, Kraków, and Ustron). Students are trained in pastoral ministry, church planting, para-church leadership, and missions. The goal is three-fold: to help students grow in their Biblical knowledge, to develop strong Christian character and to learn through practical ministry experience. EST also participates in the East European School of Theology, a consortium of ten postgraduate theological seminaries offering masters and doctoral level programs.
