Test
What I loved about the program is that it was really customizable to what you needed. I could find the pockets of time that worked best for me in my full-time job to be able to study, use online resources, and watch lectures when I needed to. I approached my classes differently because of what I was seeing in my job. I was even more motivated to learn through these courses because I knew it was going to impact what I did the very next day."

MATS Student
So far there has not been a class that I did not find spiritually encouraging and enriching on both academic and practical levels. Westminster remains committed to the Orthodox principles laid out in the Westminster Confession of Faith (such as the importance of the inerrancy of Scripture) at the faculty and classroom level at a time when this is uncommon for many Christian seminaries."

Invaluable to my experience at WTS is the combined effect of being taught by world-renowned theologians and studying at my pace through the various online platforms. WTS education has equipped me with information and transformed me through the power of the Holy Spirit to biblically and effectively engage people of diverse cultures in the course of disciple-making for Christ.”

Westminster has brought academic, spiritual, and social growth. While it started with professors and classmates on a screen, it grew to include a Greek study group where friendships budded: one of which bloomed into a marriage! Westminster has helped me to consider how right doctrine, founded on proper interpretation of the Scriptures, is essential for ministry.”

I started my master’s during COVID. I was pregnant, had a baby, and I was homeschooling my children. So, if I can do it, anybody can really do it. It takes a lot of effort, but they allow you to work at your own pace…What I was learning was so amazing that it didn’t feel like work; it felt like necessary learning for life — how to parent, how to be a wife, and for all areas of life.”

MAc Student
I believe the Lord has used my training at WTS to directly prepare me for this next season of ministry. I have loved the intentional training, mentorship, friendships with classmates and professors, theological conviction, sacrificial spirit, and much more. I'm forever grateful for my DMin experience at WTS!”
RICHARD P.,
DMIN Student
The Old Testament definitely felt like it was relegated for ancient Israel, and then coming to Westminster I felt like I got my Old Testament back. I love the biblical, theological emphasis that everything is pointing to Christ, and I belong to Christ. I'm part of the promise that was given to Abraham, and so is my family...We're grafted in, even as gentiles. The whole Bible is yours–it's not just the gospel, as amazing as that is."
Curtis p.,
MAts Student
During my time at seminary, I have come to know more of the depth of the Lord's love for me, to appreciate the richness of His Word, and to more confidently proclaim the full counsel of God.”
Reagan w.,
MDiv Student
It’s been an amazing privilege to have studied with fellow students of such diverse backgrounds, yet all with a passion for God's Word and for his people. I've been blessed by a deepening understanding of people as saints, sufferers and sinners, and how scripture speaks a personal and redemptive word to each one of us.”
OWEN S.,
MAC Student
Although based in the UK, it's been really encouraging to feel part of the learning community in Pennsylvania with the chance to meet some wonderful godly people.”
