EEST Programs
Degree Program
Each course offered by Evangel Empowerment School of Theology (EEST) equals three semester hours. There must be 10 hours of class instruction to complete a course. Saturday seminars and mentored independent studies are offered as accelerated and intense programs whereby students may acquire credits faster, thus obtaining a degree more rapidly.
Previously earned credits of study, workshops, conferences, and church related positions and activities (past or present) will be accepted in consideration for earned credits of study. A completed profile of official transcripts, certificates, diplomas, and/or ministerial resume must be submitted to the EEST Dean for consideration. LEN is the determiner of the number of credits that will be granted.
Internship Program
Modeled as a full-time, intensive school of ministry, this program help to train and prepare college age students and young adults in strong academics and practical issues of Christian life. Interns fully experience the realities of working at a church full-time by participating in staff meetings and retreats, and have high access to staff for training and mentoring. Upon completion of the two-year program, graduates will have a substantial academic and spiritual foundation, and will have contributed significantly to the day-to-day operations and growth of their local church.
