This program is intended for those who are actively
involved in ministry or plan to be, but cannot study
theology residentially. The students use a set of required
textbooks, some lectures on videotape, a study guide
and specific course assignments, including examinations
and the preparation of course papers. Each of the courses
has available research material translated in Croatian.
Responding to varying degrees of interest in the studying
of theology, the program is flexibly divided into two
tracks.
The first track is Basic Christian Truths which is
intended for those interested in a more serious study
of theology. Upon the completion of two years of study
the students receive a certificate, which is equivalent
to one year of the regular residential course at ETS.
The study program follows the ICI (International Correspondence
Institute) program, which was started by the Assemblies
of God in 1967 and is active in many countries around
the world.
The second track is intended for those who want to
obtain insight into elementary Christian teaching. The
program has been adapted from the ICI program called
The Christian Service Program that contains 19 books,
many of which are translated into the Croatian language.
Upon completion of the program the students receive
a certificate for the completion of the first level
of the ICI program.
There are currently 83 students enrolled in this program.
They come from Croatia, Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Our vision for the near future is to organize lectures
for correspondence students. We also envison translation
of quality textbooks from the field of theology, books,
which may be used for resident and also for correspondence
students.
