Programmes
The lessons which I have gained through our teachers were incredible. They didn’t only equip us to be academically knowledgeable but also helped us to see problems within the spiritual insights.
The quality of time we spent in preparation determines our success in ministry. Nourish well and serve well. Truly, EGST has trained both my hands and heart.
EGST was not just a Christian higher academic institution at which I did my graduate studies; it was a home for me where I shared my fears, concerns, struggles, worries, anxieties, joys and laughters.
The experience I developed during my study period at EGST equipped me to achieve my ambitions and make the most of my experiences, develop skills and manage my future career.
For those who are not focused on short-cuts or the easy way, but rather are focused in achieving academic success by taking the long and hard ride, EGST is the right place for them. At the end the rewards will be worth the effort, and they will not be the same anymore. EGST is a school that prepares and equips students with academic skills, discipline and competence that will enable them to stand out from the crowd.
EGST’s teaching process is enlightening for me. It offered me the critical insight to understand and approach texts and concepts (Scriptural and philosophical) which were vague to me. It increased my appetite for more learning, because, as my theological education cleared some of my clouds of confusion, it created follow-up questions on the horizon. It equipped me with a robust hermeneutical lens to analyse theological concepts.”
