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.

The instruction has provided me with the needed tools to be a life-long student of the Word, has helped me grow in the area of practical theology, and has given me a much deeper appreciation for historic confessional Baptist tradition.

The seminary’s structure has allowed me to attend classes and study in a way that balances work, ministry in my local church, and family life. Without a seminary like RBS, I sincerely doubt I would be writing this.

I started RBS right before I left for law school. Because of the flexible, online nature of RBS, I was able to stay enrolled even as I moved four hours away to Gainesville, and I continued to take classes throughout law school.

A few years ago, a couple good friends admonished me to pursue higher studies. I am glad I heeded the trustworthy advice! The church-based program was perfect for our situation and I have grown as a pastor through it.

One of my closest friends convinced me to follow him to China after our graduation from the University of Nebraska, where I continued growing rapidly. There I met Pastor Mark Hatfield at Beijing Baptist Church, who introduced me to Reformed Baptist Seminary.
