WELCOME

Welcome to Reformed Evangelical Seminary

The church needs well-equipped shepherds who nurture God’s people and embody the living, victorious Truth in word and deed. It needs bolder preachers who declare the whole counsel of God.

The world desperately needs the gospel. It needs the truly Good News to breathe life into its dead bones and to turn things right-side up again.

“Yet how shall they hear without a preacher?” - Romans 10:14

Reformed Evangelical Seminary exists to prepare pastors, evangelists, missionaries, elders, teachers, and church leaders to meet these great needs in the church and the world for such a time as this.

We offer rigorous courses in the Scriptures and theology. However, we’re after something deeper and more foundational for the church and the world than just courses. We are committed to a whole-life, ministry-shaping pastoral education that sharpens students’ gifts within the church under the mentorship of their own pastors. We offer an ecclesiocentric education that affordably unites students, their studies, their teachers, and their pastors together in the context of their own congregations where they live, work, and worship.

Reformed Evangelical Seminary is gratefully rooted in the historic Reformed tradition and stands on the shoulders of our Protestant forefathers. We share their passion for God’s Word and His Bride, the Church. We share their zeal for theological wisdom and maturity in the spirit of semper reformanda. We share their commitment to the advancement of Christ’s Kingdom in all spheres of life.

The Seminary is honored to build on the fine work of our predecessor, the Reformation Bible Institute of Oregon City, OR, by providing an affordable and high-quality pastoral training program for the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches and other Christ-honoring churches.

All the Seminary’s courses are available online. We use a blended-learning approach in our M.Div. program, that includes local, face-to-face pastoral mentoring and training. We offer a range of Church Enrichment courses and short seminars to assist congregations anywhere with low- to no-cost instruction in the basics of congregational leadership and church development. All our courses are taught by a church-wide network of qualified pastor-teachers who possess significant pastoral experience and advanced theological credentials.

Please pray for us, support us financially, spread the word about the Seminary, and consider having your congregation become a Church Partner. If you’re looking for affordable training in Biblical studies, theology, worship, ethics, pastoral counseling, and mission, then please read more here on our website, contact us about your interests and goals, and consider how the Lord may be leading you to Reformed Evangelical Seminary.
