MEET OUR DIRECTOR

Welcome to the Blagovest Institute of Ministry.

​

Blagovest was founded with a clear purpose: to serve the Church by equipping ministers with a faithful, biblically grounded, and theologically sound education. In a time of rapid cultural change and increasing complexity, the Church needs leaders who are deeply rooted in Scripture, firmly grounded in sound doctrine, and spiritually mature in their walk with Christ.

​

Our calling at Blagovest is to prepare such leaders. We believe theological education must go beyond the classroom. It must shape character, strengthen spiritual life, and equip ministers for the real challenges of church leadership and pastoral ministry. For this reason, we intentionally unite academic rigor with spiritual formation and practical ministry training.

​

Blagovest Institute of Ministry serves the unique needs of Slavic churches in the United States. We understand the challenges of ministering in a multicultural and immigrant context, and we are committed to helping pastors and leaders faithfully navigate this reality while remaining true to the historic Evangelical faith.

​

It is our prayer that every student who studies at Blagovest will grow not only in knowledge, but also in wisdom, humility, and devotion to Christ. We invite you to partner with us as we seek to equip a new generation of Christlike leaders for the service of His Church.

​

With gratitude and prayer,

​

Sergiy Pronin
Director, Blagovest Institute of Ministry
