Navigating the Call: Your First Steps in Theological Education

Feeling a pull toward ministry? The journey into theological education can feel both exciting and daunting. At Paul Theological Seminary (PTS), we see this as a sacred calling, and we’re here to help you navigate it. Your first step is to clarify your purpose. Why are you pursuing this path? Is it a passion for teaching, a desire for community outreach, or a heart for pastoral care? Understanding your ‘why’ will be the anchor that guides you through your studies. Next, consider the academic requirements. We offer scholarship opportunities based on academic excellence (a GPA of 3.7+ for a 70% scholarship, and 3.3+ for a 50% scholarship), so we encourage you to focus on your studies and prepare your application materials with care. The process is not just about paperwork; it’s about a conversation. Our upcoming Interview/Registration for New Candidates is a key opportunity to connect with us, ask questions, and ensure PTS is the right fit for your spiritual and professional growth. We believe that a strong foundation in theological learning is the key to a lifetime of meaningful service. This isn’t just an academic program; it’s a transformative experience that will shape you into a servant-leader.
