Committing God's Truth to Faithful Men
The Fall 2024 Issue of the PRTS Journal Is Now Available!

December is here, and with that the end of another semester and year draw to a close. The Lord has been abundantly good to us, granting us grace and strength to fulfill our tasks in service to Him and His church, and we thank Him for His mercy to us. We covet your prayers as we finish this term and anticipate taking up the work anew in January 2025!

 

This month we will celebrate our Savior's Incarnation and commemorate another year of God's goodness. We pray that you may know, with us, the joy, peace, and hope of Jesus Christ in these final weeks of the year, and truly, into the new year as well.

​

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. ...For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

~ Malachi 3:1,6

​

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

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.
