One of the strengths of theological training at ETS is the connection between study and real ministry life.
Over recent days, students have had the opportunity to hear from a variety of people involved in ministry across the Free Church of Scotland — each offering insight into different spheres of gospel service, and helping students reflect on where they might be called. Each speaker also kindly treated students to lunch.
Al MacInnes introduced the breadth of the Northern Presbytery, which stretches from Thurso and Wick to Alness and Tain.
This week, David Meredith, Mission Director, offered an overview of the opportunities and challenges of church planting across Scotland.
On Wednesday, Thomas Davis gave a unique overview of vacancies in the Western Isles. In a typically engaging manner, he tied up each vacancy with a model of car.
These visits play an important role in encouraging students, building connection, and shaping a wider vision for gospel ministry.
