We thank God for permitting us to complete another a module of the "Marrow of Theology" program. This time we 49 students received 21 hours of instruction on the topic "Salvation Accomplished" (Soteriology, Part 1).

Upon graduation from the University of Utah I was commissioned as an Intelligence Officer in the US Air Force. I was first stationed in San Angelo, Texas for Intelligence School.  There I attended another small church of roughly 15 people.

Reformed Baptist Seminary exists to prepare laborers for the gospel harvest. In light of our vision, I'm always thrilled to learn what our graduates are doing to advance Christ's kingdom. Rob Ventura graduated from Reformed Baptist Seminary in 2006 with a Bachelor of Divinity (B.Div.) degree. Shortly after, Rob was called to serve as a pastor of Grace Community Baptist Church, Rhode Island.
