A two-year theological program

  • 2 years
  • 120 ECTS
  • live · online how to attend

The SST program is designed to prepare evangelical Christian leaders — faithful to the Triune God, to the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ and the apostles, and to the Nicene-Constantinopolitan creed — in a contemporary Balkan and global context.

Course formats

Two-semester and one-semester courses both meet every other week — the difference is how long they run. Each course below is tagged with its format: (T), (O), or (C).

T

Two-semester

One weekday evening every other week, across both semesters — the full academic year.

O

One-semester

A three-hour session every other week — the same rhythm, but for a single semester.

C

Conference-modular

A different rhythm — intensive, across one to three full days.
