ABOUT PTS
Practical Theological Seminary is a two-year training program that prepares men and women for ministry. We believe the best way to prepare students for ministry is to combine classroom education with real ministry experience. A big part of our seminary is creating an atmosphere and expectation for God to work in our student’s lives. We believe God will reveal His unique calling to each of our students during their two-years with us. We invite you on a two-year journey of faith to know the one true God of the Bible and to discover His plans for you.

MINISTRY EXPERIENCE
Students are required to serve in ministry while attending seminary. Students can serve in any area of ministry at their local church, and students are highly encouraged to be the leader of a ministry. Students do not have to be in a paid position of a church. The goal is to get practical ministry experience in many different areas of ministry within the church in order to better understand one’s calling and gifts within the Body of Christ
