Commendations

I am happy to commend Wales Evangelical School of Theology as an excellent choice for anyone who is seeking a program of ministry training that is academically competent, doctrinally sound, pastorally wise, and Bible-centred in its entirety. Under the new leadership of Jonathan Stephen, I expect that WEST will play a very significant role in training the next generation of strong Bible preachers in the United Kingdom.

Our land is crying out for ministers who faithfully and lovingly proclaim Christ crucified, and we at Oak Hill relish the prospect of gospel partnership with WEST as we work together to provide truly Reformed training for the next generation of labourers for this great task.

It is most encouraging to learn of the renewed vision for solid, biblically sound theological training, in the tradition of the Reformation, that WEST represents. WEST holds promise for meeting a pressing need not only in the UK but elsewhere around the world.

I am very encouraged about the vision that Jonathan Stephen has for the newly named Wales Evangelical School of Theology. The renewed commitment for serious and competent biblical interpretation within a Reformed theological context is crucial as a basis for preparing students to become biblical preachers and ministers of God’s word. The need for scholar-pastors in every generation is crucial for the health of the church, and WEST is ideally positioned to provide such pastors. I look forward to seeing Jonathan Stephen’s vision come to fruition.

WEST provides a unique environtment in which to prepare for a lifetime’s ministry. A friendly atmosphere, spiritual encouragement and theological seriousness make a great context for personal growth. The commitment to the truth of biblical revelation, an awareness of today’s needs and the comprehensive curriculum are WEST’s finest features.
