Committing God's Truth to Faithful Men
Make Use of the Multitude of PRTS Resources!
Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. ~ Psalm 119:65
The Lord has brought us safely through the winter months and now we enjoy the special beauty of His season of spring. No matter the season, as He is faithful in the realm of creation, so He is faithful in the realm of salvation. We rest in His good hand on us as we come to the final weeks of this second semester. Continue to pray for us that we may labor diligently until the end.

The PRTS will have her spring break from April 7-11. The seminary will still be open daily though with reduced hours. Call ahead if you have any special needs.

​The seminary enjoyed several visits from various Christian elementary school children in the last month. These are wonderful opportunities to show these children (and teachers!) what the seminary is about, and we hope sow the seed of the call to the ministry in the hearts of young boys.​
~~~~~~~~~~
​
The seminary is usually open daily (M-F, 7-5), including the library and bookstore. Staff is available by phone or email if you have any special needs.

​
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 new year of our Lord 2025, 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.
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.
