WALES EVANGELICAL SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY

The right direction...
From its formation in 1985, the Evangelical Theological College of Wales soon established a reputation for providing sound theological training for Christian ministry. Numerous former students of many nationalities are currently engaged in front line gospel work around the world.

Now, with renewed vision, and under a new name, Wales Evangelical School of Theology is looking to greatly increase its effectiveness. Our great passion - the reason we exist - is to serve Bible-centred churches by equipping those God has called and gifted for Word-based ministry.

Thank you for visiting our site. The overview below will provide you with an introduction, and show you our distinctives.

The right people
There is no typical WEST student, although there are certain characteristics we are always looking for in our careful admissions procedure... (more)

The right location

The right cost
Higher education is inevitably expensive, and those seeking to prepare for Christian ministry have little prospect of future financial compensation... (more)

The right plans
At WEST, we are constantly striving to improve the quality, relevance and delivery of our training... (more)

I am happy to commend Wales Evangelical School of Theology as an excellent choice for anyone who is seeking a program of ministry training that is academically competent, doctrinally sound, pastorally wise, and Bible-centred in its entirety. Under the new leadership of Jonathan Stephen, I expect that WEST will play a very significant role in training the next generation of strong Bible preachers in the United Kingdom.

I believe that WEST is superbly placed in every respect to help meet the dire need for fully-trained preachers and pastors within our constituency. That is why I am here.
