ESJTC में अध्ययन ने मेरा जीवन बदल दिया है। वहाँ से मुझे जो आध्यात्मिकता और ज्ञान मिला, उसने मुझे मसीह और उसकी योजनाओं में वृद्धि करने में मदद की है।
Shiv, B.Th '17
Pastor
I had an amazing experience while I was studying in ESJTC. It was completely practical and the study materials were so simple to understand. It was really relatable to the church and to personal growth as a pastor.
Isaac, M.Div. '16
School principal and B.Th student guide
My studies at ESJTC were immensely valuable, providing me with a strong foundation in theological education and a clear understanding of biblical teachings. The dedicated faculty and well-structured programs not only deepened my academic knowledge but also fostered my spiritual growth, making ESJTC, in my experience, the best theological seminary in Northern India.
Thotya, B.Th '13
Church Ministry
Studying in ESJTC was one of the most valuable study experiences in my life because that is where I found the deeper meaning of the true Christian life. It helped me to motivate my relationship with God as I learnt. Studying in ESJTC is not just about studying the Bible but is a study of changing completely into a new creation. I would like to say that the teachers are not only the teachers of the Bible but they are more like guardian angels.
Akanksha, M.Div. '17
Housewife
It was a great experience studying at ESJTC. I gained a completely different perspective on the Bible, which was eye-opening. Throughout my course, I experienced God very closely.
