I felt inadequate to teach others about the Bible. I wanted to learn the word of God properly; I needed to be well equipped so I could be able to teach others. In my second year in RTS, I traveled to Nigeria, my country, and I had the opportunity to teach at the Sojourners school of missions. […]
Just out of college, a mentor had given me J.I. Packer’s Knowing God. That book taught me enough Reformed theology to realize that I didn’t know enough. In order to be trained for a lifetime of ministry, I knew I needed preparation in a classically Reformed environment. I knew that RTs was the right place for […]
I enrolled at RTS because I wanted to have a better grasp of biblical principles, and felt inadequate to teach God’s word and apply it in my life. From the very first class at RTS, I was challenged. My professors were not afraid to ask the difficult questions, and I was not given pat Sunday […]
After graduating from college, I was still unsure which career I might be able to pursue. I knew that I wanted to be involved in some sort of ministry and had a passion for learning Scripture.

Prior to enrolling at RTS, I was a businessperson who had an interest in theology. I decided to attend RTS because I felt a progressive discernment of a call to ministry, and never doubted that decision. After graduating from RTS, my family and I went to Cambridge, England, where I pursued a PhD. Because of […]
I was a High School Social Studies teacher who felt called to full-time vocational ministry as a pastor. I was deeply involved as a lay leader in my church but did not have any theologically solid seminaries nearby. I felt a strong calling to pastoral ministry but did not know how I was going to be […]

I pursued theological training at RTS to equip me for pastoral ministry. Having been exposed to Reformed Theology through the Renewing Your Mind broadcast, I was particularly looking for a Reformed education. My identity as an African American with Reformed leanings made me feel like an aberration. I was excited about attending RTS, but unsure of […]
I went to RTS to learn more about how to minister in an intergenerational context. I sought to learn how the Scriptures could speak to uniting different generations together in the church and keeping young students involved and engaged with their local congregation. With the growing rate of high school students leaving the church upon graduation, I knew that RTS could offer solutions in […]
