ATLANTA / WASHINGTON DC FUND

We seek to hire a total of six professors in Washington and Atlanta, four of which have been hired already, in order to expand degree programs to include an accredited Master Of Divinity Program.

We believe that the future of effective theological education worldwide will be dependent on regional locations and the greater use of technology. Therefore, we will place less emphasis on bricks and mortar, planning to use church facilities and rental office space rather than building our own physical campuses in new locations.

In addition, we must continue to enhance our distance education program through the Virtual Campus, which enables us to reach and serve the Church around the world. The RTS Virtual Campus was the first to offer a fully accredited graduate theological program, providing a solid theological education in which up to 90% of the course work can be done at a distance.

RTS endeavors to achieve a balance in all its programs, offering both sound theological education and practical, realistic ministry preparation. We intend for future ministers and other church leaders receiving their preparation from RTS to be characterized by faithful preaching and teaching of the Word of God from a Reformed worldview. We pray that each of our graduates will be used by the Lord to win people to Christ and build them up in the faith, resulting in healthy, growing churches where there is a perceptive application of the Bible to every dimension of life.

Through every RTS program, we wish to influence each student with the grace of the gospel, the power and authority of the Word of God, and the richness of our Reformed heritage, providing the guidance and encouragement necessary for spiritual maturity. We desire for our students to be better equipped to be used by the Lord in such a way that the gospel of Christ will pierce the hearts of the lost, transforming their lives.

We believe an investment in RTS will leverage your investment in the spreading of the gospel of Christ in the third millennium. It will help shape the future ministries of church leaders who in turn will train and help shape the ministries of others. Opportunities abound to establish new campuses, extensions, and new partnerships with ministries around the world.

We would consider it a privilege to count you as a part of the RTS Family of Supporters as, by faith, we seek $75,000,000 in resources over five years. Now in the third year, we have been blessed to have received $60 million and need only $15 million to complete the campaign. The RTS family believes this to be an opportune time for God’s people to give as unto Him, so that through our generous giving, He may receive all the honor and glory. Please prayerfully consider how the Lord might have you step out in faith with us in helping RTS better serve the church of Jesus Christ in the years ahead.
