HOME - SEMINARS

The Foundation for Reformed Theology, as a part of its work to promote better preaching, better teaching, and better pastoral care, all for the building up of the church of Jesus Christ, provides seminars for ministers to read, study, and discuss the gospel of Jesus Christ and the historic faith of the Christian church, particularly as articulated in the classic texts of Reformed theology.

The Foundation is profoundly grateful for the work of all of our seminar leaders, who recruit, schedule, organize, plan for, promote, convene, and lead our ministerial study seminars:

Each seminar is free to establish its own schedule. While some of the reading may be done in advance, most of the seminars have found it helpful through the years to plan for a significant amount of time for reading during the week as well as some time for discussion. There is an example below of how a seminar might approach the readings for the First Seminar: John Haddon Leith.

Thank you for your continuing interest in, commitment to, and support of, the Foundation for Reformed Theology. I hope that you will help us help these pastors and many others like them in their ministries to build up the congregations of the church of Jesus Christ.
