| Dr. Nathan Killian's early
religious background was Evangelical United Brethren. Although
he had been raised in this religious atmosphere, he attended
church merely as an outward form. However, during those
formative years he found that a seed of the gospel was planted
in his life. Later, while pursuing a graduate degree at
Bloomsburg University, he accepted an invitation to attend a
series of special church services. During this time, he made a
personal commitment to Jesus Christ and his life was
dramatically changed. He then furthered his education at Valley
Forge Christian College.
By way of a seminary education; in
1982, he received a Doctor of Theology Degree; in 1990, he
received a Doctor of Philosophy Degree; in 2005, he received his
second Doctor of Philosophy Degree.

| Dear Prospective Student: If we had lived in the historical era of
the Old Testament and seen, with our own eyes, the infinite God
majestically revealing Himself at the Red Sea or Mount Carmel, perhaps
then we would have admitted to ourselves that an all powerful God
absolutely existed.
If we had lived in the historical era of the New Testament and seen
Jesus Christ, God's Son, walking so humbly, yet with divine purpose,
into city after city to perform miraculous acts of mercy, perhaps then
we would have heartily agreed that a supreme God really did exist.
To have been among the searching, inquisitive, and curious crowds as
Jesus gave spiritual, physical, and mental life would have certainly
been most convincing.
As true and powerful as the commanding voice of God to Moses
thousands of years ago; as true as the soothing voice of Jesus Christ to
the wild raging sea; as true as the delivering decrees to those who were
plagued with difficulties - so today, that majestic voice speaks
assuringly out of the pages of the Bible.
The Word of God positively proclaims tidings of blessing and joy.
God's revelation reveals a Savior. It faithfully heralds the word of
life. The Bible's inspired words, empowered by the Holy Spirit, speak
forth eloquently to a troubled world.
This generation's problems are overwhelming. Multitudes are void of
purpose and inner-stability. Fears run rampant through the mind. The
hope of peace and tranquility is gone. Many are depressed. Spiritual
bondage is everywhere. While life is to be eventful and hold reasonable
meaning, it is obvious that a great deal of uncertainty prevails.
Certain overwhelming facts must be recognized: God has not left the
human race to flounder unmercifully on life's raging sea. He has not
left us alone to deal with the storms of life. He has not forsaken our
generation!
God has "called" and is still "calling" today for laborers in the
harvest fields of life. His desire is that many will heed the scriptural
invitation of "Go ye therefore and teach all nations." If you are now in
the ministry or if you have a desire to be involved in the ministry, you
must prepare in order to successfully fulfill God's eternal plan for
your life.
We believe that the following Scriptures are at the very heart of
Evangelical Theological Seminary:
- "Preach the Word" (2 Timothy 4:2, KJV)
- "Teach all nations" (Matthew 28:19, KJV)
- "Make disciples" (Matthew 28:19, TLB)
- "They ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ" (Acts 5:42,
KJV)
- "The same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to
teach others also" (2 Timothy 2:2, KJV)
- "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth
not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy
2:15, KJV)
- "Know what his word says and means" (2 Timothy 2:15, TLB)
We, at Evangelical Theological Seminary, want our students to receive
the best in academic instruction and training. The courses are
biblically oriented and solidly grounded on the Word of God for
equipping each student in their particular field of endeavor for God.
We invite you to join with us in your educational pursuit toward the
fulfillment of God's will for a lifetime of ministry.
