About the Academy of Theological Sciences

In partnership with Grace Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana, USA (seminary.grace.edu) The Academy of Theological Sciences (ATN), located in Čenej, Serbia, offers an accredited Master of Arts degree in Local Church Ministry  for qualified students. This program is the result of years of planning on the part of Grace Seminary’s Deploy program, and the Baptist Theological School of Novi Sad, Serbia (btsns.org). In order to meet the needs of the local context, the program at ATN is being developed and tailored to match the needs of the Balkan church and community context.

Our Program

About the Program

This program is a competency-based model, meaning that completion is not based on actual hours spent in the classroom but on a thorough demonstration of the skills the student has mastered.

Independent Study

This theological education is independent study, meaning students will be on their own for the majority of studies and assignments. Each course includes components such as online instruction, videos, reading, discussion, and projects. Though it is independent study, all students at ATN will have an academic proctor guiding them through each course and evaluating their work.

Our Classes

All students will meet regularly as a group for application, discussion, and clarity about the work. Each course lasts an average of 9 weeks, and the program has 13 courses (42 credit hours).

Timeline

The goal is for the master’s degree to be obtained in about 2.5-3.0 years but will depend on the student’s mastery of the subject.

We Connect

Each student will have a total of three proctors who oversee and assess their academic, spiritual, and ministry growth.

What makes ATN unique in the Balkans?

The goal of ATN is to support the churches and ministries of the Balkans through biblically centered, discerning education that glorifies God and exalts Jesus Christ. ATN is a unique and desperately needed resource in the Balkans. It is the only Evangelical Institution in Serbia which offers competency-based theological higher education that is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools.
