Seminary
The Master's Seminary
Theological posture
Conservative evangelical
Not necessarily Reformed. Doctrinally conservative Baptist, fundamentalist and non-denominational schools with statements of faith on inerrancy and creation. They differ from the Westminster Standards on matters such as baptism, church government and eschatology. A good fit for families seeking a conservative education that is not strictly Reformed.
Doctrinal basis. Doctrinal statement affirms biblical inerrancy, Reformed soteriology and dispensational premillennialism (Wikipedia); faculty affirm it in writing.
Points to weigh
- Dispensational premillennial rather than covenantal, so it differs from the Westminster Standards on eschatology and church government.
- 2018–2020: WSCUC placed The Master's University and Seminary on probation over governance concerns; the sanction was lifted in November 2020 (Wikipedia).
