Noyabrsk Center

Moscow Theological Seminary

The Noyabrsk Learning Center is comprised of students eager to apply their new found knowledge to their local church ministries. There are two cohorts with a total of 22 students: one in Pastoral Ministry and one in Christian Education. Many of our Noyabrsk alumni now serve in the Tyumen, Khanty-Mansiysky and Yamalo-Nenetsky autonomous regions.

MTS alumnus Alexander Podkolzin ('01) serves as the Learning Center Director. Additionally, he is a leading pastor in this region.

“Our students have become a force in our region within just the past two years. I have received reports of improvements in their preaching.  Some of our churches have Sunday Schools for children for the first time.  Because of our remote location we do not have easy access to Sunday School materials for children. Our MTS Christian Education students have been preparing the materials used by the churches in our region.  I would say we even have a new sense of hope in our region because of the fellowship our students have when they come together.  We dream new dreams about how to plant churches and bring the Gospel to our region.”
~ Director Alexander Podkolzin

Noyabrsk is the most remote of our Learning Centers, located almost to the Arctic Circle. Locate the Noyabrsk Center. Director Alexander Podkolzin lives 400 kilometers north of Noyabrsk and talks about measuring snow falls in meters!
