Congratulations to Mark Koller

Congratulations to Mark Koller on the completion of his comprehensive exams in doctoral studies in Historical Theology. The doctoral comprehensive examination committee consisted of Dr. Jonathon Beeke, Dr. Adriaan C. Neele, and Dr. Greg Salazar.

Mark’s research focuses on the writings of Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661) with a focus on “The Nature and Structure of the Church in the Ecclesiology of Samuel Rutherford”.

Mark served as the church planting pastor of the Dallas Reformed Presbyterian Church (RPCNA). The Reformed Presbyterians are the direct descendants of the Scottish Covenanters, a primary interest of Mark’s research. He is a major contributor and co-editor of the multi volume publication The Works of Samuel Rutherford.

New Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling (MABC) Degree

PRTS is excited to announce its new Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling (MABC) degree program. This program is designed to serve the church with biblical, Reformed, and experiential counselors who teach and model the wisdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Program Distinctives:

  • Committed to the Scriptures
  • Creedal and Confessionally Reformed
  • Grounded in Systematic Theology
  • Informed by Biblical Theology
  • Drawing on Biblical Examples of Counseling
  • Experiential Emphasis
  • Hands-on Approach

The MABC degree program requires a total of 62 credit hours and can be completed in two years.

“There is a great need in our churches for pastors and ministry leaders who understand the effects of the Fall on individuals and on our social order, and who can pastorally care for the souls of men and women in a way that biblically brings about restoration, redemption and transformation, both with God and with one another. I believe this new MABC program will train such counselors.”

– Dr. Mark Kelderman, Dean of Students and Spiritual Formation, as well as Instructor in Pastoral Theology
