I sadly admit that for several years, I didn’t prioritize sharpening my mind and fortifying my life with the wonderful truths of theology and doctrine. I found it appealing at times to fashion my ministry and thoughts after the shallow and pragmatic ways of too many churches today.

It wasn't until I was about 35 years old that I started classes at RBS. While I did attend one in-person module, the remote format and the ability to fit my studies in around all my other responsibilities made RBS a great fit for my situation. I am glad to have had the opportunity to learn from those who have gone before me, and it is my great desire and prayer that the Lord will grant me the privilege to serve Him for many years as a pastor of His blood-bought flock.

The study of theology has been a long-time ambition, but I could never justify spending the money for additional education. Now that I am a pastor in the church I attend, I thought it appropriate to spend money on additional education to better serve the people of First Baptist Church of Howland. I am grateful that God led me to an affordable and reputable on-line seminary.

I am very thankful for all the great men that have taught and mentored me at the Reformed Baptist Seminary. The courses are rigorous, delightful, and Christ-centered…. If you’re considering getting an MDiv from RBS, I can tell you without a doubt I have no regrets!

I looked at traditional Bible colleges and seminary programs, and they all seemed unattainable due to financial or time restraints, or a need to relocate. One day, the pastor of our church asked if I had ever considered attending seminary, and I admitted I had, but that I neither had the time nor the finances to pursue it. I am grateful he knew about the Reformed Baptist Seminary (RBS) and the Church Partnership Program, which provided me with both the time and means to pursue my Diploma of Theological Studies.

I was raised in the LDS religion for 19 years before our sovereign God graciously changed my heart, opened my eyes, and made my deaf ears to hear. I could no longer deny Jesus Christ as my Lord, my God, and my Savior.
