Interested in Getting a Biblical Counseling Degree without Moving? Now You Can Do It @RTSCharlotte
A number of years ago, RTS Charlotte launched a two-year Master of Arts in Christian Counseling degree (MACC) and it has been wonderful to see how it has grown. We believe that solid, Christ-centered, biblical counseling is critical to the health of the church.
This week we are announcing that we are now offering the MACC degree in an exciting new Summer/Winter format. This means that students can now get the MACC degree over the course of four years without having to relocate.
We are rolling out this new structure because we know there are many people who want to benefit from the MACC program, but are not able to … Continue reading...

Well, the videos below answer those questions. The first is a round … Continue reading...
Join Us for a @RTSCharlotte Class This Winter Term
Every winter term (basically the month of January), the Charlotte campus offers a great line-up of one-week intensive classes.
These are classes where the lectures can be taken all in one week (with the assignments due later). This allow students to travel from a distance to take a course.
The graphic below lays out all the classes we are offering. There’s still time to catch Bob Cara’s Acts-Romans class that starts on Monday!
Let me also draw attention to the fact that Ed Welch of CCEF will be joining us Jan 30-Feb 2 for Advanced Methods in Biblical Counseling. As is well known, CCEF has been a core influence … Continue reading...
Is It a Waste of Time for Seminary Students (and Pastors) to Learn the Biblical Languages?
Note: I post the article below every year as seminary students arrive. I hope it will prove helpful for a new group of readers (or maybe even prior ones!)
A few weeks ago, a new crop of seminary students began the grueling month-long experience of Summer Greek. And, like all seminary students before them, they will begin to ask the question of why studying these ancient languages even matters. After all, a few years after graduation all will be forgotten. In the midst of a busy pastoral life, who could possibly maintain proficiency in the languages?
As a result of these questions, some students decide (very early on) that the … Continue reading...
Where Are They Now? @RTSCharlotte Alumnus Michael Knight
One of the things that makes the RTS Charlotte campus distinctive is the number of missionaries we have sent out over the years. For whatever providential reasons, God has allowed the Charlotte campus to be a fruitful training ground for folks headed to the mission field.
This missions “vibe” in Charlotte simply reflects the overall ethos we are shooting for here. We not only want our seminary to be theologically solid, but also outwardly focused and passionate about fulfilling the Great Commission.
Right now, Charlotte alums serve in countries such as Peru, Mexico, Panama, Colombia, France, England, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Morocco, Ghana, South Africa, … Continue reading...
