EuNC “Comes Home” to Sighișoara

Years ago, if you were a Romanian who felt a call to minister in the Church of the Nazarene, you had to pack your bags and move to Buesingen, Germany, for 4 years, to study at European Nazarene College. Later, it was possible to begin studies in Romania, and move to EuNC later in the course of study. In recent years, EuNC has been working to decentralize its education into a series of learning centres throughout Europe, including Romania. Now, ministry students can receive all the training required for ordination right here in Romania.

Last week, Professor Tim Green from Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, Tennessee, visited the Romania Learning Center to teach the course on Introduction to the New Testament. This is an intensive class – coursework began several weeks ago with reading assignments. During the 8 days of the course, students met daily for 3 ½ hours each evening.

This intensive class is just one of many models of learning used by EuNC in its learning centres. Other models include online classes, hybrids which combine online and in-class learning, weekly classes over the course of the semester, and courses with video lectures supplemented by in-class discussion and learning. These models provide inexpensive quality education for ministerial students right here "at home," without having to leave their place of ministry.
