Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary (PRTS) is a conservative Calvinist seminary located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.[3][4] The seminary started in 1995 as a school of the Heritage Reformed Congregations, a church association that originated in 1993 from the Netherlands Reformed Congregations. Founded in 1995, PRTS is a graduate school. All of its faculty subscribe the Three Forms of Unity and the Westminster Standards. PRTS offers the following four degrees: the Master of Divinity (M.Div.), Master of Arts in Religion (MA), Master of Theology (Th.M.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.).

The current president of PRTS is Dr. Joel R Beeke.[5]

The seminary's publishing house, Reformation Heritage Books (RHB), operates within PRTS and has a bookstore on-site.[6] Soli Deo Gloria Publications is an imprint of Reformation Heritage Books, and reprints works from the English and American Puritans.[7]

Because the Heritage Reformed Congregations work closely with the Free Reformed Churches of North America (FRC), the latter also supports the PRTS. Since 1998, the PRTS has also been the official training of the FRC, the sister churches of the Dutch Christian Reformed Churches.[8]

In February 2014, PRTS became accredited by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.[5]

In 2017, the Theological University of Apeldoorn and the PRTS are jointly starting a Puritan research center and setting up an associated combined doctoral program.[9]
