This is also pastor appreciation month and we want to express our deep appreciation to the Lord for the gift of pastor-teachers to His church. These are not easy times for Christ's servants, and we prat that they know and experience the Lord's support and care as well as that of His saints who are enriched by their ministry in the local church and in the seminary.​

​
The Protestant Reformed Theological seminary exists to pass on the truth of God's Word to the next generation of gospel ministers, so that they may in turn pass that truth on to the generations following.
As Paul instructed Timothy, so does the PRTS faculty instruct the spiritual sons of the church:
​
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 2 Timothy 2:2
​
~~~~~~~~~~
​
We covet your prayers, also in this year of our Lord 2024, that we may be faithful to this solemn charge from our God.
​
~~~~~~~~~
​
The PRC is also in deep need of ministers of the Word, both for the established congregations and for the mission fields.
We urge and encourage you to make this part of your prayers on our behalf. And encourage your sons and grandsons to consider seriously God's call to the ministry of His Word.

"Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest." Luke 10:2
​
The PRTS faculty has planned and is preparing for a very special Fall 2024 Conference.
​
The conference will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Protestant Reformed Churches and Seminary with a significant treatment of the doctrinal issue that led to her founding - the doctrine of common grace adopted by her mother, the Christian Reformed Church, in 1924.
​
The Conference is planned for Thursday, Oct.31 through Saturday, Nov.2 at Grace PRC in Standale, MI (just west of Grand Rapids). For more details, visit this recent blog post with the flyer and further information.

Introducing the PRC Seminary
Our Seminary is dedicated to preserve and develop the truth of the Word of God and to provide an education in this truth in all branches of theology. More specifically, the seminary maintains this truth as it has been historically maintained since the time of the great Protestant Reformation, especially the Reformation of John Calvin. These principles and truths of the Calvin Reformation form the heart of all the instruction offered.
ABOUT the PRC and HER SEMINARY
The Protestant Reformed Churches have from the very beginning recognized the need for a theological school in which men could be prepared for the ministry of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The establishment of a separate seminary was closely connected with the reasons for the organization of the Protestant Reformed Churches.
OUR LIBRARY
Explore our extensive online library catalog, which is ever growing. The seminary library has over 25,000 resources, with a focus on historic Reformed theology, Reformation (and Dutch) church history, biblical studies, and practical theology. But all Christian traditions are represented, as well as teachings outside of historic Christianity.
