The educational emphases of Redeemer Seminary are as follows:

(1) Christological: BE 102, BE 202, TH 202, PT 101, PT 402 specifically, and all classes in general start with, “What did Jesus say about this?” so as to encourage our students to imitate their Lord above all else;

(2) Expositional: Students study the big picture of the Bible through OT and NT survey (BE 201, BE 202) and introduction classes (BE 201, BE 202) as well as giving attention to the six of the most important books of the Bible: Genesis, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Luke, Acts and John.

(3) Theological: While students are exposed to all major areas of systematic theology, they go much deeper in the key the subjects of Bibliology and Theology Proper to ensure that their convictions are firm therein.

Additional emphases in the above chart include:

(4) Apologetics: BE 301, BE 302, as well as all TH courses will help our students not only exhort in sound doctrine, but also refute those who contradict (Titus 1:9);

(5) Preaching: We offer four classes on preaching—two on the who, what, why, and how, and two on how to preach the two main OT & NT books for preaching, Psalms and John;

(6) Pastoral: Our program is geared towards practical application, giving students real-world wisdom from ministry mentors while using Redeemer Bible Church as a lab to see what they’ve learned in class take place in real time;

(7) Experience: Our program is overseen by our elders, connected to our pastors, and offers prolonged exposure to Redeemer Bible Church ministries like kids, students, small groups, music, counseling, finance, hospitality, assimilation, men’s & women’s, and more.

Finally, BE 100 Research Methods is a non-credit class that must be completed by incoming students during their first August enrolled at the school. PT 403 is a non-credit class where the student, with oversight from his advisor, puts together a folder explaining what churches may want to know while searching for a position.
