It has been some time since anyone posted endorsing seminaries from Washington State. I have seen endorsements for Northwest Theological Seminary in Lakewood, WA, but apparently they closed their doors in 2018 and went 100% online. I have also seen at least one endorsement for Faith International (University &) Seminary, in Tacoma, which seems to still be in good standing. Faith's top 3 learning outcomes are as follows: "1) Acquire an ability to study the Bible in Hebrew and Greek and to conduct biblical exegesis in order to properly interpret the Scriptures; 2) Acquire an ability to understand the creeds and doctrines of the historic Christian church; 3)Acquire an ability to defend the orthodox teachings of the Bible." It says it was founded as a "Faith Evangelical Lutheran Seminary by Lutherans Alert-National (LAN), an organization committed to biblical inerrancy." Anyone have any thoughts on this school? Is it still worth looking at?
What about any other accredited reformed schools in WA state? I'm aware of Western Reformed Seminary. Someone mentioned Northwest Baptist Seminary, which I realize is not reformed, but apparently has a good library with a decent collection of reformed literature. They got subsumed by what is now Corban University in Salem, OR. It appears they are still quite dispensational as well.
My reason for asking is my wife's family is almost entirely in WA state and she wants to live there/near there. But I also need a reason to move there for seminary that doesn't completely compromise my convictions or where I'm not constantly disagreeing with profs/students.
