Holy greetings and God's
speed to you and your theological partners in the ministry. I have a
great feeling of joy to learn of your online degree program that is
enabling young men and women the opportunity to study. It gives a
deeper, wider and true knowledge of the Christian Faith. I truly
bless The Lord for your obedience and dedication, having received
the revelation and vision to educate the world, you embarked to
fulfill this worthy cause. This great resource, no doubt has helped
to spread the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ to many
remote and undeveloped areas of the world. I pray earnestly for your
ministry to get stronger and wider, continue to be courageous, amid
the attacks from those who lack the true vision and fail to
understand the great commission God has charge us to fulfill.
Your Faculty Advisors
and Ministry Directors from all over the globe tells of the hard
work and effort that has gone into this ministry. I discovered this
website while searching the internet.
I have been looking online for
opportunity to continue my biblical studies. I have looked at
several biblical study programs, but I don't see any that can be
compared with Northwestern Theological Seminary. Your core courses,
the foundation for all your degree programs are excellent.
Anyone that has good
knowledge and understanding of the Christian Faith should support
and promote this great work of the ministry. I have passed on this
website to some of my Pastoral Colleagues and advised them to take
the time to explore fully, the opportunity that Northwestern
Theological Seminary offers. I know God's blessings will continue to
be upon this ministry through the prayers of those that love the
Lord.
Rev. C. E. Gayle
Faith House Apostolic Church.
Toronto, Canada
I
have wanted to attend seminary for years, but due to schedule and
financial restraints, could not pursue the traditional route of
sitting in a classroom for hours every day, and paying thousands of
dollars for the privilege. I began exploring online options, and I
am very happy our Lord led me to NTS. I have been enrolled for
about 4 months, and I am very impressed by the instruction method
NTS uses. The information I learn in every course is easily
recalled.
Since beginning my course of studies, my knowledge of Scripture has
increased, and my relationship with God has become deeper and
closer. God recently allowed some events to occur in my life that in
the past would have knocked me down, but now have only highlighted
the changes He has wrought in me through a better knowledge of Him,
and His word, that NTS has helped me to achieve.
I do recommend NTS
to everyone I meet who express even the remotest interest in deeper
study of Scripture.

Combined- Bachelor of Theology in Biblical Studies / Master of
Divinity in Ministry
The Lord has
blessed me to become a student of NTS. Before I was accepted into the
program, I did some research into other online seminaries, and to my
surprise, some programs were as much as ten times the amount of NTS. I
thank God for his favor and leading me to your web site, Halleluiah!
This was something I was looking for.
Back in June of 2010, I was
ordained as a Reverend, and I must say that through my study and research, I
have been enriched with a lot of history and facts that I always long
for.
I thank God for your programs.
Rev. Andre Owens
Bachelor of Theology in Ministry Program
I come from an evangelical Christian background with a bias
in Biblical Exposition. Nonetheless, I have to appreciate the thoughts
of other Christian theologians with different biases. I also have to
admit that this is the first time I have been involved in an online
learning.
It is a very enriching intellectual and technological
masterpiece to embrace a new concept of learning without compromising
the quality of the content material.
David H. Kodia
Doctor of Philosophy in Christian Theology Program
I have
been blessed in my NTS program thus far, because your school became
available when my original Doctor of Ministry program at Wesley in DC
couldn’t meet my academic needs. Wesley requires students to be away
from ministry, work, and home four weeks out of the year, and I could
not commit to that level of absence.
Your school has encouraged me so
very much. I only have two courses left to finish before I complete my
doctoral dissertation.
Thank you for the ministry of your school to me.
I am humbled to say that I have done very well in all of my classes thus
far.
Rev. Paul H. Demers
Doctor of Ministry Program
NTS has
blessed me by having a deeper, more meaningful understanding of
Scriptures. I have learned so much about Theology and practical
application of Biblical principles in the last year.
Thank you so much
for having created this institution of higher education that edifies
students to a greater understanding of Christ!
Eduardo Fernandez
Master of Theology in Christian Counseling Program
It is with a
heartfelt of gratitude that I write this letter of love and appreciation
to you and - our seminary leaders - for the blessings that have been
gifted to me by attending this wonderful seminary. My studies here have
opened anew the "windows of heaven" for me in a way most magnificent!
I
have embraced my life long love for Christ by ever increasing my
knowledge of the Old Testament - and built a more solid foundation for
my faith. I have rejoiced in seeing anew the prophecies of old -
foretold - becoming alive and living in the New Testament with a
freshness and a vision that is breath taking to behold!
The seminary has
gifted to me a deeper relationship with my Lord, and for that gift there
is nothing in the world entire to compare. I am blessed - truly - beyond
belief!
With an everlasting love for the Master.
Carol C. Bolton
Combined- Bachelor of Theology / Master of Theology in Theology Program
I have been
working toward my B.Th. in Christian Counseling with NTS for several
years and I am close to completing my degree requirements. The time I
have spent studying and preparing course work over the past several
years has deepened my understanding of God’s Word and definitely helped
me into a closer walk with the Lord.
My NTS studies have helped to
prepare me to talk with others about the issues they face, and they have
also been a strong foundation from which to face a particularly
difficult period of tragedy in my own life.
As I prepare to retire from
my first career I look forward to ministry opportunities and what I have
learned and am still learning via NTS as I complete my B.Th. and look
toward my M.Th. will definitely be an asset to me.
Thomas W. Stewart
Combined- Bachelor of Theology / Master of Theology in Christian
Counseling Program
I have been to
seminaries on full time basis within the four wall environment, but
my present online study experience with NTS supersedes the former in
respect to study materials and student- staff relationship.
I thank God for coming
to NTS.
David J. Tassa
Doctor of Philosophy in Christian Education Administration
Program
The Lord has blessed me
through my NTS educational experience by infusing me with the Holy
Spirit. When I opened the first course the foundation was laid out
that this course requires an absolute trust in the Holy spirit as
the ultimate teacher. At first I scoffed, and applied the human
knowledge approach. I even made a few comments about my skepticism
in my first assignment. By the time I got to the third course,
however, I realized that the Spirit of Scriptures were directing my
energy. It was a supernatural experience, an epiphany. By the time I
started Systematic Theology it was truly the Holy Spirit that was
doing the writing for me.
I have taken many, many,
on-line courses and never have I been so motivated to excel. The
proof is in the pudding--I believe I started in February and have
completed up to Assignment 1 of the Course number 5 of the core
courses. This is incredible.
Moreover, I was so
spirit filled after studying the hermeneutics course I purchased two
books on Biblical Greek. The hermeneutics course clearly stated that
a knowledge of Greek and Hebrew will establish a sound foundation in
interpreting the Bible. I'm not sure how I'll do it but I trust in
God to see me through.
I have grown spiritually
and faith-based intellectually in my NTS experience.
Thank you NTS for
opening my eyes to see the truth in God's teaching.
David Heaukulani
Doctor of Divinity in Ministry Program
I would like to thank
God who led me to the website of NTS. I had for a long time been
longing to do an Online Theology training, but I could not find one
which is as affordable and with an enriched online library as NTS.
As I started doing my first courses in Old Testament and New
Testament Surveys, my mind was opened to to discover great ideas,
facts and events which outlines God's sovereign dealing with mortal
man. This has changed my perspective of studying the Bible and I
discovered that I know too little from the Scriptures and I now have
the desire to know more. Thanks to NTS for giving me this
opportunity to discovery my inadequacy and to polish me up for
greater work of ministry.
May God bless this program to impact millions of His servants as we
serve Him in our generation and the one to come.
Peter Acanga
Bachelor of Theology in Christian Counseling Program
What is it about opening the Word of God and letting it saturate
soul? No eyes have seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared for those who love him. By inviting Jesus into
my life, praying, and studying it is allowing me to form the mental
picture of what God has prepared for those that love him. This is
how I am be blessed by NTS.
I have study the bible for over 40 years
and with this training that I am receiving, the Holy Spirit is
guiding my path to fulfilling the answers about life that I thought
could never be answered.
Mark Saunders
Combined- Bachelor of Theology / Master of Theology in Biblical
Studies Degree Program
I thank God for His many blessings and you for your insight to
put this plan of study together for Pastor's like me. As a
pastor, Moderator and National Teacher, achieving my Master's
and Doctorate seemed out of reach, but my experience with NTS
has been one of encouragement. I want to personally thank Dr.
Galloza for his insight, he has made this journey achievable
through programming and clear instruction.
I will recommend this course of study to others in my
Church, State, and Association.
Rev. Elizabeth Mary Robinson
Combined- Master of Divinity / Doctor of Philosophy in
Divinity Program
NTS is a blessing to me. It is a door God opened for me to
get my PhD. What surprised me is that even when I have not
gotten to the end of the program in the aforementioned
Institutions, God foreknew what will happen at the end and have
asked me to leave like He directed Abraham to leave his
household and nation to a land He would show him; and through
him, all nations of the Earth would be blessed.
I know that having obeyed Him who directed, He will take me
to the pinnacle of my academics (acquiring the PhD
successfully), in no distant time.
Robinson Ochuko Orido
Combined- Master of Theology / Doctor of Philosophy in
Ministry Program
Studying at Northwestern Theological Seminary is really a
great blessing to me in many ways.
I have learned a lot about God, Jesus, the Bible, and the
science of theology. They introduce valuable courses, and the
assignments required helped me in searching, reading, and in
creating a biblical worldview, which is life changing, and very
helpful in the work of ministry and in living a Christian life
in a world that is full of many unbiblical views.
God also blessed me through studying at Northwestern
because it is financially affordable to me. I can study any
time; according to my own schedule, it all depends on my speed,
and time.
Finally I have to thank my advisor for his patience and helping
spirit.
Hany Nabil Sadik
Bachelor of Theology in Theology Program
I am happy to share my testimony of how the Lord has blessed
me as a student of NTS. While I fully acknowledge material
blessings from the Lord, may I focus at this time on the
spiritual blessings.
I sense a deep awareness of a peace of mind, and tranquility
in my heart, and also a strong desire to fulfill God's will, and
do exploits for Him.
It is my desire also, to know Him better.
Alfred N Berry
Doctor of Theology in Biblical Studies Program
I am Thai pastor in a new church called Alive Church.
Before NTS, I was taking courses from a Bible school in
Thailand. Although there are many distance Bible schools in
Thailand, it’s quite difficult because they are not online and
still have only certificate level which couldn’t let me study in
depth the word of God.
I found NTS through my prayer and searching on the internet.
I believe NTS is divine guidance given to me because NTS could
fulfill my needs in which I could serve God and still run the
church at the same time.
Rittee Chaiwong
Master of Divinity in Ministry Program
Northwestern Theological Seminary's continuous pursuit of
excellence in combination with its' bold stance against secular
accreditation is appropriate and commendable.
The Institution's expectation of high quality academic
work matched with its' low cost tuition is outstanding, but to
make these type of Degrees available online and self-pacing is
simply priceless!
Bryan H Brynildsen
Combined- Master of Theology / Doctor of Philosophy in
Biblical Apologetics Program
The assignments I have completed have certainly deepened not
only my knowledge of Biblical Theology and its workings, but
additionally they have given me a more thorough love for The
Lord.
The step by step progressive learning process, that NTS
uses, provides for me the capability to better understand
Christianity in general as well as specific areas that I had
very little knowledge of in the past.
Patrick Rooney
Bachelor of Theology in Theology Program
NTS has been a blessing to me in many ways. I have just
completed the second course in my M.Div. program and love every
moment of my studies. The greatest blessing of NTS is the cost.
I wanted for so many years to attend seminary.
I have been a high school teacher for the past 25 years
but always felt a calling to full time ministry. NTS is
providing me with a quality education at an affordable price.
Robert J Heyer
Master of Divinity in Ministry Program
I am amazed at the effectiveness of the teaching method used
here.
Most schools have a textbook, some lectures, assignments, and a
set of "facts" to "memorize" for tests. Then you test and later
you eventually "forget" much of that which you "memorized".
NTS has the philosophy of helping you to put what you are
learning into immediate use, (they make you think about it),
which causes you to retain more of the information than using
the usual teaching method.
I came to NTS, (actually the Holy Spirit led me), to learn,
not just to get a degree. I am very pleased with the quality of
education I am receiving.
Jesse Prewitt
Combined- Bachelor of Theology / Master of Theology in
Christian Education Program
I want to let everyone know that NTS has provided me with not
just an excellent curriculum, but a foundation surrounded in the
truth of Christ. I have been blessed with a place I can call
home, a place that understands that the road becomes more
difficult as we get closer to Him.
I have been blessed with the tools to continue to spread the
Word of Christ our Savior to all those who need His strength.
Rev. Alexander Gutierrez
Combined- Master of Divinity / Doctor of Philosophy in
Ministry Program
Over the years it has been my upmost desire to further my
education in the areas of Christian Counseling and Biblical
Studies. Northwestern Seminary has been a great blessing to me
in that your online distance learning program has allotted me
the opportunity to accomplish my heart felt goal. Prior to
enrolling in your program , as a working mother, wife, church
elder, and part-time caregiver for two elderly family members it
has been absolutely impossible to see my long desired goal
become reality.
Northwestern Seminary's accommodating, flexible programs
has made it possible for me to attain my goal. As well, your
staff's spirit of sensitivity, consideration, and cooperation
has been a blessing to me. Most importantly, having the
opportunity to complete my studies on-line with an authentically
bible-based seminary, such as yours has been an answer to my
prayer.
I sincerely thank God for Northwestern Seminary. You have been
more that a blessing. Without your great program and God-sent
staff, myself as well as others who have the desire to continue
their education would never have the opportunity.
May God continue to blessed Northwestern Seminary immensely.
