NWPTS President Jin Young Kil
Dear alumni, students, and all who join us in prayer and love for our seminary,
May the grace and peace of our Lord be with you.
Our seminary stands firmly on the theological tradition of the Korean Presbyterian Church Abroad (KPCA), holding fast to the authority of Scripture, seeking the renewal of the Church, and pursuing a theology that cooperates with the universal Church. We are committed to raising up workers who love the Church, serve the world, and advance the Kingdom of God.
In particular, our seminary strives to embrace both the truth of Scripture and the responsibilities of our times. We emphasize not only academic depth but also spiritual devotion and practical training in pastoral ministry. Our aim is to nurture true servants of the Lord whose words and lives are in harmony, leaders who will serve the Church and transform the world.
Moving forward, our seminary will continue to uphold the theological identity and vision of the KPCA, dedicating ourselves to training ministers who will take responsibility for the future of God’s Kingdom and His Church. We earnestly ask for your continued prayers and support.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rev. Jin Young Kil
President
