Ethiopian Graduate School of Theology (EGST)

• was established under the direction of Dr. Peter Cotterell, Principal Emeritus of the London Bible College.  Classes commenced in 1998, and enrollment has quickly grown to around 70 students.  EGST is owned by the two largest Evangelical denominations in Ethiopia – the Ethiopian Kale Heywet Church and the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus – and by the Ethiopian Evangelical Churches Fellowship, an umbrella group for all the Evangelical churches of Ethiopia.
• The importance of EGST may be underscored in several ways: EGST is the only graduate-level theological program in a country of 72 million. EGST serves and is representatively owned by slightly more than 12,000 congregations with an estimated membership of 9.2 million believers. EGST provides a valuable stimulus for social and cultural renewal in a country plagued by poverty, famine, and AIDS. EGST strengthens the Church in a country whose population is 30% Muslim and whose neighbors include strongly Islamic countries such as Sudan and Somalia.

The MYTS will concentrate on offering B. Th. Program and a Joint Ethiopian Graduate School of Theology (EGST) began in cooperation with a neighboring Evangelical Theological College in January 1998. The MYTS has produced and will continue to produce top-level leaders and theologians for the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus and other Evangelical Churches in Ethiopia.
