Mission and Emphasis
RPTS's mission is “to educate students who love the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word, equipping pastors for the ministry of the gospel and preparing others in the church for effective service in His kingdom, all within the framework of the historic Reformed faith.”
RPTS emphasizes:
- Scholarship in Biblical studies, systematic theology, church history, and Biblical counseling
- The cultivation of personal godliness and interpersonal skills
- The development of spiritual gifts
All RPTS professors have significant “field” experience in the church; therefore, classes are taught from the perspective of ordained pastors. This emphasis is highlighted by RPTS’s brand statement: “Study under pastors”.
