RTS Metro Washington has a schedule that is attractive and suitable for those who wish to study part time for the pastorate and for lay people who want additional theological training which will make them more discerning leaders and teachers in the local church. The teaching is exceptional with the availability of a well rounded faculty, from the RTS campuses of Jackson, Orlando, and Charlotte, augmented by local adjunct faculty. The courses for this 60 hour program consist of core and elective offerings. The MAR is a program designed primarily for lay persons who will bring biblical and theological reflection to bear on a wide spectrum of societal issues in their chosen vocations and avocations. The intent of the program is to train leaders who are already active in their community and will be increasingly effective agents for the gospel there.
Students can work and prepare for the ministry simultaneously.
As the Lord leads, we hope to offer a full M.Div. program with resident faculty within five years. In addition, pastors with M.Div. degrees and three years of experience can participate in a Doctor of Ministry degree program and take some of their required courses at the Metro Washington extension. Career counseling is available through the Office of the Executive Director to enable study programs to be individualized and coordinated. If you are seeking an in-depth educational program designed to provide you with the full armor of God and equip you for Christian service, RTS Metro Washington is for you.
