Reformed Schools in So-Cal

[Founded on the Rock]

Anyone know of any good Reformed schools where I could get an undergrad in theology? I am attending Moody Bible Institute next year but I am looking to re-locate to the So-Cal area if there is a good alternative...

Just wondering if anyone on the board had any suggestions.

ARe you a paedobaptist?
If you are not, then I'd suggest you forget Moody and go to Boyce College here in Louisville, KY.

The Master's College, Santa Clarita, CA: close proximity to a number of great churches, nice neighborhood, driving distance to the beach and mountains, and plenty of job opportunities...

Ya I am a paedobaptist.

One problem with Masters is I have heard the cost is un-real. I'll do more research on it though.

Thank you!

Hi,

Providence CC will be a big improvement over Moody! It's a small school and it's just getting accredited and their library is still small, but there are other libraries in the LA area. Don't assume that the Master's College reflects the theology of J. MacArthur.

College is a great opportunity to broaden your horizons. A Bib/theol major is fine, but be sure to take advantage of your opportunity to learn a European language, to read the "greats," to become well read in history and literature, to learn to appreciate music and art. In short, don't miss your opportunity to become a well-educated person. College is not or should not be a trade school. It's a place to learn the basics of language (grammar), to think well (logic), and to write well (rhetoric).

Those things will make you a much better theologian and more useful to the kingdom.

Blessings,

rsc

agree. the library is small, but solid...and growing .

We currently also have a few baptists (or similiar leaning) that attend the school. That includes my recent background. though the profs are generally Presbyterian, the atmosphere is very welcoming to those that are not from a paedo background.

For some things, you get what you pay for. TMC was not cheap, but it was manageable.

Thanks for the advice. A problem I am running into now was my attitude earlier. I always knew I wanted to be a pastor. In the churches I grew up in, if you had a Bachelors in Biblical Theology, you were qualified to be a teaching pastor. I always wanted to pursue my education further but I figured I would be a pastor after I completed my under-grad...

Well I hope you go to Master's because I'll probably be there in about another year, hopefully sooner. It would be neat to meet (ha that rhymes. Anyway...) another person from the PB

Blessings...
