Welcome
Welcome to our website, the online presence of the Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary. For more than five decades it has been our joyful privilege to focus on training future pastors and missionaries who proclaim the gospel in all its gracious and glorious fullness.
In a certain sense, the Latin words in our logo say it all: lucerna mea verbum tuum, your Word is my lamp. These words are taken from Psalm 119:105, and they form the basis of everything we do here at CRTS. As our Statement of Institutional Purpose explains, God’s infallible Word is the light that illumines and directs all our instruction, mentoring, research, and writing.
This program trains future preachers to understand God’s Word deeply, communicate it effectively, and radiate it joyfully. Focussing on the goal of ordained ministry, this program combines in-class instruction, personal mentoring in spiritual growth, and practical ministry experience.
These programs equip students who desire to serve within the church in diverse ways such as mission aid, Christian education, or translation work.
Please take time to browse our website. You will find information about our academic programs, as well as numerous resources, both in written and video formats. Also, feel free to look at what our library has to offer. If you’re in the area, you’re welcome to stop by for a visit. Join us for coffee (10:30 sharp!), enjoy our library, or tour our building. We’d be glad to show you around.
Finally, we sincerely ask for your prayers. The apostle Paul spoke about entrusting faithful men with the task of teaching others to be trustworthy and effective heralds of salvation in Christ (2 Tim 2:2). That is a great responsibility, and we are acutely aware that we cannot do it in our own strength. May our gracious and sovereign God bless this seminary so that we may radiate the light of his Word in his world.
In our Risen Lord Jesus Christ,
