Reformation International
Theological Seminary
Reformation
International Theological Seminary (RITS) began in 1996 originating its own
courses through the collaborative effort of a good number of qualified
professors. It centers its undergraduate and graduate education around the
Bachelor and Master of Divinity degrees. Other master degree programs are
now offered as well as a full-orbed doctoral program.
RITS is very
competitive in price and thoroughly REFORMED in content with the aim of
producing solid Christian thinkers and ministers. We have aimed at keeping
our costs as low as reasonably possible by keeping our overhead low, and
aiming primarily at ministry instead of money. We believe you will be able
to tell the difference both in cost and quality.
Well-known writer and editor and professor,
Dr. Stephen Westcott (M.A.C.S., Ph.D., Litt.D), is one of the
visionaries and co-laborers in the founding of RITS lives near Bristol,
England gives the following statement about RITS.
Reformation
International Theological Seminary offers a unique blend of the old and the
new: absolute commitment to the Reformed Christian faith and its historic
confessions, blended with modern 'distance learning' techniques and
technology. Developed with the needs of the mission field in mind, it
brings the Seminary and Lecture Hall right into the residences and
pastorates of its students and Doctoral candidates. In a world situation in
which the Reformed faith must be built or rebuilt almost from scratch in
many lands, and churches planted and organized, RITS now makes available a
complete range of Christian and theological education, from 'one off'
courses to learn or strengthen individual subjects, to complete pastoral
training packages, to research and thesis based Doctoral degrees. And all
of these may be completed without the disruption of leaving home, job,
family, church, and relocating to a Seminary to live and work on campus,
through audio tape, CD lectures, the internet and email (and 'phone) contact
with professors, mentors and administration. From the busy pastor in
America or Europe, looking to research and write on a specific theological
subject, to the church planter or pastoral trainee on the mission field, to
the Christian wishing to learn more of the Biblical faith, RITS has
something 'tailor made' for the situation. With its missionary background
RITS does not see education as ever being an end in itself: the aim is to
equip God's chosen workers and co-work with them in the building of His
kingdom, and so we actively encourage students and graduates to evangelize,
church plant, and bring others to the Reformed and Biblical faith, whilst
Doctoral candidates are urged to publish their work for the benefit of the
church at large. RITS has employed modern technology to take a small and
'user-friendly' base and offer its services across the nation and across the
world. Its potential in promoting the Reformed faith is immense, whilst its
'paper work' is kept to a minimum, which is just like the Apostolic Church,
after all!
