HOUSTON, July 28 /Christian Newswire/ -- Reformed Theological Seminary is now approved to offer classes for credit on their new Houston campus and plans eventually to offer the complete MAR and M.Div. degrees there. Classes will be held at Christ Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Houston. Two classes are scheduled for the fall semester and will be taught by Dr. Bob Cara and Dr. Derek Thomas. Fall classes begin Aug. 20.

Those who wish to complete courses for graduate credit and who have not been admitted to RTS should contact the RTS/Orlando Admissions Office at 1-800-752-4382 or by email at admissions.houston@rts.edu.

RTS is one of the largest accredited seminaries in the country. It is comprised of six campuses - Orlando, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Charlotte, Jackson, and a Virtual campus that offers a Master of Arts in Religion degree by distance/internet instruction.

Houston and an extension in Memphis are the newest campuses, and later locations will include Seattle and Los Angeles.

Founded in 1966 in response to growing liberalism in the church, RTS is an independent seminary committed to the Bible as God's inerrant and infallible Word, the final authority of faith and life, and to the Reformed tradition as that system of doctrine developed during the Reformation and which best reflects a complete understanding of Scripture.
