Hi Y'all
Let me explain. I currently work in full-time ministry with a para-church organization (Young Life) but realize that most of my training and equipping has taught me to do Young Life well but not always connecting it back to the local church. I desire to be bettered equipped to not only serve in my current role but also I see myself transitioning to a role within the local church at some point. I believe seminary is the best route to equipping and preparing me for current and future ministry roles. Unfortunately, I'm pretty locked in and can't do on campus full-time seminary, as we just moved to NC. I'm fine with taking classes part-time. The biggest issue right now is cost, one income, and a family of 5. I know I'm not the first person to have this blessing! However, I've seen a couple of baptist reformed seminaries that seem too cheap, as in too good to be true. I'm speaking of RBS and CBTS. What are your thoughts on these seminaries? They basically seem the same holding to the LBCF and have a majority of the same faculty. Are there other low-cost baptist seminaries I should be considering? I'm sure the topic has been kicked around but didn't see anything in the past several years. I appreciate any and all feedback.
