ACCREDITATION

MY FELLOW LABORER,

Faith Theological Seminary is blessed with an illustrious past and a prosperous future. All Professors hold Ph.D. degrees in their respective fields of theological study.

Our Professors are among the most qualified theologians in our region.

Faith Theological Seminary currently operates under a Maryland State religious exemption. FTS is in Stage (1 of 2) of its application to the Maryland Higher Education Commission for Maryland State Approval. Once Maryland State approval is achieved, FTS will immediately pursue National Accreditation through the Association for Biblical Higher Accreditation, an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. We aim to achieve this status with both agencies within two years.

If you have any questions or need clarification concerning our current Accreditation status, please contact me.

In Christ,

Dr. Jerry Harmon, President

Faith Theological Seminary
