The Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary is a Reformed seminary in Hamilton, Ontario. It is the federational seminary of the Canadian Reformed Churches.
Synod Orangeville (1968) made the decision to establish a Theological College of the Canadian Reformed Churches on Wednesday, November 20, 1968, and to appoint three full-time professors and two lecturers. The College was officially opened in September 1969 in Hamilton, Ontario.[1] The Ontario legislature granted degree-granting authority to the Seminary under the Canadian Reformed Theological College Act, 1981.[2] Since 1984, the Faculty is made up of four full-time professors. The seminary moved to a new location on the Hamilton escarpment in 1985. In 2010, the operating name was changed to the Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary.[3]
There are five full-time faculty members:
Besides the full-time staff, guest lectures and courses are occasionally taught by several adjunct lecturers.
The college is an accredited private degree-granting institution. It received charter from Ontario Ministry of Education under the Canadian Reformed Theological College Act, 1981.[4] It is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools.[5]
