- If you’re not interested at all in working a part-time “secular” job while you’re doing theological training, the TPA is probably not for you. Almost every TPA student has historically worked outside the church during his time in the program.
- If earning a degree from a recognized, accredited institution is a high value for you, the TPA is probably not for you. The TPA is not a degree-granting institution, but rather confers on graduates a Commendation for Ministry and sees ordination in a student's family of churches as the ultimate completion of the program.
- If having renowned professors with PhDs and lots of published work is a high value for you, the TPA is probably not for you. We charge our pastor-instructors to become as expert as they can be in their field of teaching, but all classes are taught by seasoned pastors currently in vocational ministry.
- If you are not based in the United States or Canada, the TPA is probably not for you. Due to the small, intimate size of our network of churches we simply do not have the resources or vision at this time to attempt to administrate the program outside North America.
- If the thought that you will soon be dead makes you fiery with zeal to do something radical for the cause of Christ and the Gospel, the TPA might be for you.
- If you’re really interested in church planting, the TPA might be for you.
- If you long to be like John Bunyan, whom Spurgeon described as a man you could prick anywhere and he’d bleed the Bible, the TPA might be for you.
- If you like the idea of throwing your lot in with a band of no-name, rag-tag, small-church, passionate pastors and students, the TPA might be for you.
- If it thrills you that some struggling church in the middle of nowhere might love to have you as their pastor and might love that you got your theological training in a non-traditional setting, the TPA might be for you.
