About Reformed Evangelical Seminary

Reformed Evangelical Seminary "assists the church in equipping pastors and leaders for orthodoxy and orthopraxy rooted in Reformed catholicity." The Seminary is rooted in the Reformed tradition and gratefully stands on the shoulders of our Protestant forefathers. Their recovery of much that had been lost from the Scriptures and the early Church and their passion to continually grow in theological wisdom, in the spirit of semper reformanda, inspire our vision for pastoral education. Our goal is to train pastors and church leaders to advance this Reformed heritage, by providing . . . Biblical study that draws upon the Reformers’ passion for Biblical truth, while embracing the richness of pre-modern exegesis and recognizing recent advances in biblical study. Systematic theology fed by the finest theological reflection from the Early Church, the Middle Ages, the Reformation and post-Reformation eras, to the present day. Worship that emphasizes preaching the whole counsel of God, learning from the greatest preachers in church history, while drawing on the importance of liturgy in renewing the people of God for cruciform lives of faithful service. Pastoral counseling that reflects the Bible’s concern for the right formation of the whole person, and brings pastoral care back into the sphere God intended--the church. The modern world may have brought new and distinctive challenges, but biblical counseling emphasizes the ordinary means of grace, namely Word and Sacrament, that God has used to strengthen and to equip His people for millennia. Ethical reflection that draws on all of Scripture, together with the best historical and contemporary ethical reflections and methods, and Mission that reflects the Reformational commitment to long-term cultural transformation, within an optimistic Scriptural vision for the growth of Christ's kingdom to the ends of the earth.
