The Board works closely with staff, students and local church partners to ensure that the theological education at ETS serves to help prepare men and women for works of ministry in the communities of Scotland and across the world.

The Board is also responsible for the ongoing development of the ETS Centre for Mission.  This is a study and resource hub created to connect the learning opportunities at the Seminary with life and work of local congregations and missionary partners.

ETS is a crucial part of the work and mission of the Free Church of Scotland. The Seminary makes a vital contribution to the training of the next generation of pastor teachers and gospel workers for our own denomination and the wider church. 

The Seminary Board’s role is to maintain and develop this work, ensuring that our unchanging commitment to the Reformed Theology of the Westminster Confession of Faith is applied to the needs of an ever changing world around us.
