Ukranian Evangelical Theological Seminary, Kiev
In 1991, the Ukraine became an independent country and Evangelical churches started to emerge from the underground. In August 1993, the Ukrainian Pentecostal School of Theology opened in Poliana offering a one-year intensive program on the certificate level. After moving to Kiev in 1994, three new departments opened - Christian Ministry, Music Ministry and Christian Education. The seminary moved to the town of Boyarka, 30 km outside of Kiev, and in 1998, the name of the school was changed to the Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary. In 2000, the school purchased 2.1 hectares (5.5 acres) of land in Kiev to locate the UETS Campus permanently there. In 1991, 9 students graduated, and they were the first to receive a Bachelor Degree in Theology.
