Seminary education does not make someone a better Christian, rather it is a tool that can make one more effective in pastoring others. The education that I have received so far from RBS has certainly increased my skills and abilities in serving the members of my congregation.

My studies at Reformed Baptist Seminary have enriched my ability to co-lead the Young Adults ministry at RBCR. This role has been a tremendous blessing, allowing me to apply what I have learned to serve and guide others.

My father was a Southern Baptist pastor for most of my childhood. After spending some time in the army, I attended a university that is aligned with the Baptist General Convention of Texas for both undergraduate and graduate studies.

The sound biblical knowledge and comprehensive theological training I have received through RBS is invaluable to me and the church already. I know I will be using this degree and even continuing to audit classes as I plan on retiring from public school teaching and continue to pursue ministry in the coming years.

I have witnessed a tremendous outpouring of God’s kindness in our valley through Reformed theology. RBS has had an active role in this with the training of fellow pastors in my area and through men like Brian Borgman.

During my time at RBS I have gained a greater appreciation for Reformed Baptist convictions and more importantly, a richer understanding and love for the God who stands behind those convictions.
