History

 |
| The origins of Ukrainian Lutheran Theological Saint Sophia Seminary go back to 1994, when the Rev. Roger Kovaciny, a Lutheran missionary in Ternopil’, Ukraine, began teaching Greek and other theological subjects to several men who hoped someday to serve as Lutheran pastors. The seminary was formally organized in 1995, and was officially registered with the government of Ukraine in 1997. It is the Ukrainian Lutheran Church’s theological institution of higher education for the training of men to be pastors and other office-holders in the church. The seminary also has a close cooperative relationship with the “Thoughts of Faith” mission society in the United States, a church-related organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod. |
