Moscow Seminary to Get Full Accreditation

By Tom Rosson, president, Eurasian Theological Seminary

MOSCOW, Russia — The visiting team from the Euro-Asian Accrediting Association (EAAA), recently completed a two-day visit to the Eurasian Theological Seminary, a Church of God institution in Moscow. The EAAA informed us that they will be recommending to their General Council in June that ETSM be accredited for its Bachelor of Theology and Bachelor in Pastoral Ministry programs. It is a real milestone for the school to have this official recognition of accreditation from the Euro-Asian Accrediting Association.

A Long Sought Goal

This has been a goal of the school for the past decade. Graduates of the school have long been recognized at this level by a number of other schools, but it is a real milestone for the school to have this official recognition from the EEAAA. The EAAA is the regional accrediting agency of the International Council for Evangelical Theological Education.

We Are Thankful

The report on the school from the visiting team was very positive and encouraging. We rejoice over this accomplishment, and give thanks to the Lord. We also want to express appreciation to the ETS Board of Directors, faculty, staff and students (past and present) for helping to make this achievement possible. We are especially grateful to World Missions and to our many supporters and friends who have blessed the school over the years with their prayers and support.
