It has been a privilege and an honor to take classes here. I have learned so much. My faith is stronger and my connection to God even stronger. I am in awe of the people who taught me. I never had such opportunities and I am so glad I took advantage of this one. PTS will always hold a dear place in my heart.

It's a moderate to liberal theological institution. They leave room for many different vantage points. It's about half going into ministry and half going for more schooling, so sometimes there's a little bit of an identity crisis as to how to best teach the students. But all in all, it's an excellent school if you are able to go.

More of a political world than a seminary. They really don't have a sense that they're supposed to be preparing people to lead the church.
