Continuing education is a commodity encouraged in most professions, but not always to those in ministry. As the pastor of a young church, I have found the ThM program in Reformation studies at RTS to be not only accessible, but very helpful. The modular course structure makes taking courses convenient. The class discussions are lively and fruitful, and the feedback from the various professors has not only helped my research abilities, but my thinking as well. I honestly believe that this program has helped my preaching and made me a better pastor-a more reformed pastor. In a day and age when the pastor-scholar model has been exchanged for the pastor-businessman model, this program offers a refreshing opportunity to consider the church's struggles biblically, theologically and historically, and thereby to lead the church forward with a knowledge of whence she came.

The Th.M. program at RTS Orlando is phenomenal. I felt called to further study for teaching purposes, but it was difficult to find a program that fit my schedule as a pastor.  With the module structure and format I was able to do the studies and remain a pastor as well as keep my sanity. The quality of the faculty was great. Where else can you go and get one-on-one attention from world renowned scholars? The class size and the one-on-one mentoring with the professor ensured my success in the program; this was crucial because the program is very challenging. I definitely received a great education in Reformation Studies. What I gained from the Th.M. program has helped me considerably.  I am now teaching at a Bible College and absolutely loving it. This program was invaluable to my success in the PhD program at the University of Wales.  It prepared me for the rigorous study at the doctoral level. I would not have made it without the preparation I received at RTS.  I highly encourage anyone to enroll in the Th.M. program at RTS Orlando. It will change your life.
