Distinctives

Content-based approach

Pensacola Theological Seminary takes a biblicist approach in its graduate Bible program in contrast to current academic, pseudointellectual approaches that teach erroneous views of liberal theologians. The goal of our Bible program is to fill our students’ hearts and minds with the Word of God, not with doubts and questions raised by liberals. At PTS, meditating on God’s Word and ministering with God’s Word go hand in hand.

Practical ministry preparation

Service is the essence of ministry, and true leadership is impossible without a servant’s heart. Pensacola Theological Seminary prepares servant-leaders to share the gospel boldly, preach the Word clearly, and shepherd the flock faithfully.

Vibrant spiritual life

The vibrant spirit of PCC is a hallmark of the Seminary. Daily chapel, dynamic preaching, and local church ministry are all designed to prepare the student for spiritual leadership. Cultivating the disciplines of the heart is emphasized.

Flexible scheduling

Whether by distance, a modular class, or a traditional semester class, PTS offers students maximum flexibility for completing degree programs. Choose a modular class or summer session for face-to-face instruction or choose a distance-learning course to fit your busy schedule. Either way you decide, you can earn a degree and still continue your ministry responsibilities.

Christian school applications

Since many local churches have Christian day schools, PTS offers courses in Christian school management that train pastors to effectively lead a church-school ministry.

Conducive study atmosphere

Caring, knowledgeable faculty; modern, well-equipped facilities; and a warm, friendly campus stimulate learning and creativity. The computerized library reference system makes on-campus research more convenient and efficient.

Affordability

Tuition is $195 per credit hour. On-campus lodging (room and board) for one-week modules is available for $150. Year-round seminary students are eligible for A Beka Foundation loans upon completion of nine credit hours. Students may apply for up to $2,000 per year.
