Baptist Theological School of Novi Sad
Within the Baptist Union of Serbia, the Baptist Theological School has been operating since 1939. However, with the chaos of the Balkan wars and changing country geographies, the school has undergone much upheaval. The Serbian Baptist Union, in strong cooperation with TLI, is working to rebuild the spiritual legacy of the Baptists in the former Yugoslav countries. This can only be accomplished through rigorous teaching and high standards of theological education. The desire and goal is to see the struggling fruit of Evangelicalism start to grow again in this hungry and gospel-needy area.
TLI Global Partner Dwayne Baldwin, working alongside Dr. Ondrej Franka, believes the Balkans are ripe for a school like BTS where pastors and leaders are trained to evangelize, disciple, and plant churches in a country where Evangelicals comprise only 0.1% of the population. By God's grace, BTS has already gained a reputation in the region as one of the few theological institutions that can be instrumental in this challenge.
