About Agricola Theological Seminary
The Agricola Theological Seminary is a local, church-based training institute that aims to prepare men and women for the ministry of the Word of God, so that God’s people can be nourished by his Word and his holy name be glorified.
Agricola Theological Seminary – or ATS, for short – began with a need to train and equip leaders of UCC. Initially, Pastor Shaun started a training a program for church planting in 2008, and eventually that program has grown to be a full degree-offering seminary. ATS currently has students from all over Finland, and some from even beyond the borders of this nation.
ATS is a hybrid model, and currently the in-person meetings are hosted at the UCC offices. Typically each semester will have weekly online teaching sessions as well as the in-person seminar days. Seminar days will usually have at least one public lecture, to which all are welcome! For schedules or details on visiting lecturers, please contact Shaun or check our announcement page for upcoming events.

God, who wishes for his name to be worshiped in all creation, is still working to spread the gospel of his Son to all the corners of the earth, to every tribe and nation, for the joy of all peoples. ATI intentionally emphasizes this mission of God so that its pastoral graduates will bring that vision to their new congregations in Finland.
