  1. I've been thinking about earning a degree from a conservative school and at the same time take some classes at a non-conservative school in order to get a broader perspective.
  2. I read Wheaton's doctrinal statement and it seems thoroughly evangelical to me.
  3. My church wants me to earn an MA.
  4. Thank you for the feedback. I'll take a look at Fuller. My church said that I can be the college pastor. I'll start working as the college pastor when I'm done with school.
  5. I'm not going to be ordained. I attend an evangelical, non-denominational church and my church suggested to get a graduate theological education. The leadership said that schools such as TEDS, Talbot, Gordon-Conwell, Wheaton, Reformed Theological Seminary, Westminster Theological Seminary, and Westminster California would be good places to go. How conservative? Schools that would teach the following: The Bible is the inerrant, infallible word of God. The Trinity Incarnation Virgin birth of Christ Bodily resurrection of Jesus Justification by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone Many evangelical, non-denominational churches require that a college pastor have at least a bachelor's degree with a theology major.
  6. I would only go to an accredited school and I don't want to earn a degree through distance learning.
  7. I'm in northern California, but I'm willing to go anywhere in the U.S. I would like to attend school full time and my church wants me to attend a conservative school. I'm looking for something that is academically rigorous. I wouldn't mind the challenge of confronting different points of view. Is it possible to get challenged that way at a conservative school? By the way, I have an undergraduate degree in computer science. I haven't had a formal education in the Bible or theology. I teach Sunday School to adults at my church and I have spent considerable time mentoring new Christians in the faith. The leadership of my church has observed this volunteer work at the church and they asked me to consider being a college pastor.
  8. I'm an evangelical Christian and I'm going to be the college pastor at my church. I would like to get a graduate theological education so that I can minister to college pastor. I do not intend to earn a doctorate. Which school and academic program would you recommend? Would it be better to earn a degree in Biblical Studies, Theology, or Christian Studies as some schools call it?
