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!

Faculty Opening for Professor of Counseling at RTS Charlotte

Over the last thirteen years as a professor at RTS Charlotte, I have had the opportunity to talk to each graduating class about what they see as our strengths and weaknesses as a campus.  The strengths I regularly hear are as follows:  top-notch faculty, wonderful campus community, a great location, professors who are also pastors, a robust commitment to Reformed theology, a passion for proclaiming the gospel to the nations, etc.

But, there are also places we need to improve.  And time and again, our graduates have offered the same suggestion: we need more biblical counseling.  As our students have become pastors, they realize that they needed better …
