Welcome to Redeemer Seminary! Our purpose is to train humble, convictional pastors after the pattern of Jesus for local church ministry. We seek to accomplish this through (1) training in biblical studies, systematic theology, and pastoral ministry, (2) experience gained from involvement in the ministries of Redeemer Bible Church (RBC), and (3) mentoring from RBC pastors and staff members.

​

We are a nondenominational seminary that is firmly committed to the proclamation of the gospel and historic, Christian orthodoxy based in premillennial theology that is derived from a consistent grammatico-historical interpretation of Scripture. We unhesitatingly affirm the full inspiration, inerrancy, authority, and sufficiency of the 66 books of the Bible[1] while rejecting all forms of biblical interpretation that weaken the authority of Scripture and relativize its content.

​

In the end, Redeemer Seminary places the central focus on Jesus, the Chief Shepherd (1 Pet. 5:4); that is, learning how to lead, feed, care for, and protect His precious flock by carefully examining the Gospels and how He trained those He called to make “fishers of men” (Matt. 4:19). Our pastoral training takes seriously that Jesus frequently emphasized this focus as He trained His disciples saying, “It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher” and “A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher” (Matt. 10:25, Luke 6:40; see also John 13:13, 16).

​

If, therefore, you want to be the best shepherd you can be for the glory of God and the good of His people, there is no better Teacher or Example for ministry than Jesus (Heb. 12:2). We invite you to consider Redeemer Seminary where you will study how to shepherd God’s precious flock by observing ministry’s perfect Model, the Lord Jesus.
