The goal of the seminary is to prepare Christian workers and leaders for ministry in the church as well as in Christian and charitable organizations, offering theological higher education based on needs of the church and society, and to support spiritual formation in the course of the study.

Baltic Methodist Theological Seminary prepares Christian ministers, leaders and lay workers for churches and Christian organisations by supporting their spiritual formation and offering theological higher education and continuing professional training that takes into consideration the needs of church and society.

1. Introduction

The Baltic Methodist Theological Seminary (BMTS) Development Plan 2021-23 offers a brief summary of the seminary’s present state and sets forth the school’s goals for the next three years. This Development Plan is coupled with an Implementation Plan which outlines specific goals and actions which will be reviewed and updated annually.

Baltic Methodist Theological Seminary Constitution

I. GENERAL PROVISIONS

§ 1. The Baltic Methodist Theological Seminary (henceforth: The Seminary) is a private school which gives practical post-secondary higher education.

§ 2. The holder of the Seminary is the United Methodist Church in Estonia (the UMC in Estonia), a non-profit organisation (registration code 80196661). The UMC in Estonia is the legal successor of the Seminary (registration code 01800659). The name of the Seminary in English is Baltic Methodist Theological Seminary.

The Baltic Methodist Theological Seminary began as a dream of the United Methodist Church in what was then Soviet occupied Estonia to provide evangelical theological training for church leaders.

Wes Griffin

During the fifty years after World War II during which Estonia was forcibly occupied by the Soviet Union, formal theological or pastoral training was prohibited by the communist regime. It was only with the fall of communism in Europe, that Estonia regained her independance and dreams could become reality.

Erasmus+ is a higher education mobility project, allowing higher education institutions to send their students for exchange studies and traineeships, and staff to teach or train in other countries.

The Erasmus programme aims to:

To provide all students with a study abroad experience to develop their personal and professional skills.
To support the professional development of all staff of higher education institutions through teaching or training abroad.
Increase the internationalisation, competitiveness and global cooperation opportunities of higher education institutions.

Erasmus+ grants can be applied for by:

Mobility of staff

5 days to 2 months for teaching purposes, additional travel days
5 days to 2 months for training purposes, additional travel days
For student mobility

3 – 12 months to study
for traineeships 2 – 12 months
 

Participation in the programme

Under the Erasmus programme, students who are citizens of Estonia or of another country participating in the programme and who have been enrolled in formal education at an Estonian higher education institution (independent of citizenship and residence permit) and who have completed the first year of their higher education studies (i.e. within the framework of the programme, they have the right to study at a higher education institution from the second year of study of the first level of higher education) have the right to study in foreign higher education institutions.

Lecturers – Erasmus to teach or train

Within the framework of the Erasmus programme, lecturers from Estonian higher education institutions who have joined the programme can teach in Erasmus+ countries. Staff from higher education institutions will be able to take part in training courses, and it will also be possible to invite higher education institutions to train specialists from their partner organisations from other parts of Europe.

Where can I get advice and help if I am interested in mobility?

Every Estonian higher education institution with the right to participate has an Erasmus programme coordinator, and in larger universities there are also contact persons in faculties or departments. The coordinator is best able to help in choosing a foreign institution of higher education as well as in terms of applications, selection procedures, deadlines and practical issues.
