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.

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.
