The mission of the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary is to train pastors for the ministry of the Gospel and to prepare other disciples of Christ for effective service in His Kingdom.

Understandings

The founding purpose of the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary was to train pastors for the Gospel ministry within the sponsoring denomination. This fundamental purpose remains unchanged as we enter the twenty-first century.

As God has provided opportunities to meet other needs, the mission of the Seminary has expanded to include the training of men and women from many Reformed and evangelical churches for a variety of ministries — including missions, Christian education, youth and campus work, and other specialized fields of service.

Our instruction is guided by the theology and practice of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America, a denomination which wholeheartedly embraces the historic Reformed faith while stressing Christ's Kingship over every area of life.

Our training emphasizes scholarship in Biblical studies, systematic theology, and church history; the cultivation of personal godliness and interpersonal skills; and the development of spiritual gifts — all with a vision for discipling the nations of the world.

Our educational setting is a multi-cultural urban environment which provides both challenges and opportunities for ministry. Because the redemptive grace of God is the basis for ultimate answers to the personal and interpersonal problems around us, our ministry presents a message of reconciliation to God and to one another through the Prince of Peace, our Lord Jesus Christ.
