Theological Education for Professionals
Program Description
You are an established professional in law, medicine, business, or another professional career. God is central to your life, and you hunger to possess a deeper knowledge of the Bible and truth. You recognize the value of lifelong learning, but your busy schedule does not allow you to take part in traditional learning contexts. GRTS has created Theological Education for Professionals (TEP) especially for professionals like you. This program extends to busy professionals the opportunity to take seminary courses, complete a certification program, or build the foundation for a seminary degree.
Delivery System
Courses are offered during our fall and spring semesters and meet just one night per week - Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday (6:20-9:00pm). Each TEP student works with an academic advisor to ensure that the program is part of a cohesive, high quality educational experience. TEP courses are taught by full-time faculty members, and each course is designed exclusively for adult professionals with an earned bachelor's degree.
Program Goals
1. To promote personal, spiritual and professional growth through advanced biblical and theological study.
2. To facilitate the pursuit of peer and lifelong learning in the disciplines of theological education.
3. To provide an inviting structure and context for professionals to pursue continuing education.
4. To foster among business professionals a deeper understanding of and faith commitment to our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer.
