EGST recently marked a significant milestone with a beautiful and memorable ceremony celebrating its 5th leadership transition. The event was filled with heartfelt moments, deep gratitude, and renewed commitment to the institution’s mission.
The day’s program featured two major highlights. First, there was a special recognition ceremony honoring Dr. Misgana Mathewos for his outstanding service and leadership as Director. Words of appreciation and tributes were shared, acknowledging his invaluable contributions to the growth and impact of EGST.
Following this, the community warmly welcomed the incoming Director, Dr. Worku H/Mariam. The welcoming ceremony was filled with expressions of hope and excitement for the future, as Dr. Worku shared his vision and commitment to building on the strong foundation laid by his predecessors.
The leadership transition was not just a change in administration—it was a celebration of God’s faithfulness and a testament to the enduring spirit of EGST. We are deeply grateful for the past and look forward with anticipation to the new chapter ahead.
We seek to subject our thoughts and actions to God’s Word and affirm the power of Scripture to effect change in individual lives, churches and society.
We come together as a community of learners not for our sake only but also for the sake of others. We seek to grow in our understanding of God and his ways, so that we may help others to acknowledge his governance over the world with its rich possibilities for both individual transformation and for social and cultural renewal.
We believe that theological education speaks to and out of its local context as a dynamic interaction between the local context, the global context and Scripture.
We strongly believe that unity among the churches of Ethiopia is important and can be fostered through cooperative, inter-denominational graduate-level theological education. We also seek to partner with individuals, institutions, churches and organizations within and outside Ethiopia.
We value learning alongside people from different traditions and churches. Exposure to varying traditions challenges thinking about God and the diversity of his work in the world. While EGST promotes unity, it also appreciates and respects diversity.
We value the importance of worshipping God with our minds and strive for excellence both in our rigorous study of Scripture and in our critical analysis of context.
We seek to be people who model Christ’s values such as love, humility, compassion, justice, integrity, self-control, and holiness.
We seek to promote ecumenical relationships among churches in Ethiopia in order to enhance mutual understanding.
