Family Counselling training

21.01.2022 and 18.02.2022, 11.00-17.30

Family counselling is based on the understanding that family is a system where family members are interconnected and influence each other. Any change that concerns one family member affects every other member of that family.

Support the Ukrainian Theological Education!

Every Christmas the BMTS wants to make a Christmas gift. This year we have chosen to support the theological education in Ukraine. We collect donations throughout December and pass them on to the Overseas Council Europe at the start of the next year.

Learning about the Lausanne Movement

We had the privilege to meet Ole-Magnus Olafsrud from Norway, one of the leaders of the Lausanne Movement and Barnabas Focus.

Rector's message to students

Be courageous, trust in God, and notice those in need around you.

Even when we have it all planned out, it's always possible that things will turn out differently. Sometimes even things that usually stand firm, like the ground under our feet, can become unsteady. The Bible uses the image of an earthquake to remind us that there is nothing on earth that cannot be shaken. ONLY GOD is eternal and changeless.

Our prayers are with Ukraine

We woke up on February 24th 2022 to celebrate Estonia's Independence day. Our celebrations became somber as we heard of Russia's attack on Ukraine's sovereignty with bombs falling on Kyiv.

At the Independence Day, our president Alar Karis and government members wore blue-yellow ribbons in support of Ukraine. Even military officers wore it on their uniform! This is how much sorrow we feel over this situation.

The lecturers at our seminar, Karmen Maikalu, received the Order of the White Star!

Karmen Maikalu received the White Star Order as a spokesperson for children's mental health and well-being. Karmen is the head of the Estonian Association of School Psychologists and a psychologist at Põltsamaa Ühisgümnaasium. Congratulations!!!
