Reformed megachurch, seminary to launch NYC campus

Redeemer Presbyterian Church, led by author and speaker Tim Keller, has partnered with a nondenominational Reformed seminary to form a campus in New York City in 2015.

While many seminaries are still suffering declining revenues since the economic crisis of 2008, Reformed Theo­logical Seminary, based in Jackson, Mississippi, has succeed in building campuses in major cities.

Students at the New York City campus will be trained to start churches by pursuing a two-year master of arts degree in biblical studies at $430–450 per credit hour. They will receive another year of education in church planting from Redeemer. The campus will likely be housed in Redeemer’s offices near Herald Square in Manhattan.
