History and Founding Time

Founded on September 16, 1992, with the support of a group of American Lutheran pastors who visited Estonia earlier that year.

On July 1, 2013, it merged with the Evangelical Lutheran Theological Seminary of Estonia because the Estonian government implemented strict certification standards from 2009 to 2012. In order to maintain the national certification required for the operation of the school, the two parties found common ground based on biblical teaching and thus achieved the merger.
