We believe that the Reformed faith, lived out in obedience to God, is the fullest expression of biblical Christianity, and therefore is the best antidote to Satan's attacks against the Church of Christ. Through the Seminary personnel, its programs of study, and in all of its operations, Western Reformed Seminary desires to be faithful to the Christ of the Scriptures in developing Christian leaders. Several features give enhanced spiritual direction at the Seminary for day students. First, faculty and students participate in a weekly chapel service of praise and preaching. Other informal meetings for prayer, Bible study, and fellowship are organized by the students themselves.
Practical courses address the needs of the student's daily Christian life.
Classes in Discipleship and Evangelism offer each day-time student the tools and encouragement necessary for sharing his or her Christian faith with other believers and unbelievers. The PEP supplements class material, scheduling a select bibliography of Christian classics emphasizing great devotional works and practical theology. A comprehensive list of Bible memory verses essential for personal work and useful in different types of worship services complements the readings from the divines. Some of this material is assigned in various courses.
