Theology
Three years of biblical depth, theological breadth, and pastoral formation — preparing you to serve the Church and transform society.
The Church in Eastern Europe and Central Asia needs men and women who are not only theologically equipped, but spiritually formed, culturally aware, and mission-ready. The Theology programme at UDG is designed to produce exactly that — graduates who can preach with clarity, lead with integrity, engage other worldviews with confidence, and plant and grow healthy churches wherever God calls them.

About this Programme
The Theology programme is a three-year, full-time formation in biblical studies, systematic theology, church history, missiology, pastoral practice, and cross-cultural ministry. It is the only ECTE-accredited Theology degree of its kind in the Republic of Moldova.
In Year 1, students go through a Biblical and Spiritual Formation part where they explore the fundamentals of Scripture — Old and New Testaments — alongside an introduction into Church and Workplace ministry.
In Year 2 the focus sharpens: Greek language, homiletics, soteriology, OT theology, and hands-on ministry practicum.
Year 3 brings it all together with apologetics, biblical counselling, church planting, pastoral theology, missiology, and the capstone thesis.
Graduates leave UDG ready to pastor, preach, plant churches, engage other worldviews, and lead with theological depth and personal integrity.
Who is this program for?
People sensing a call to pastoral ministry, church planting, or cross-cultural mission
People who want formal theological grounding for their ministry
From Moldova, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia serving in their home contexts
