Restored Reformed Seminary

The Restored Reformed Seminary (HHS) belongs to the Reformed Church of the Netherlands Continuiting. Therefore, the programme is aligned with the church’s requirements to become a pastor in this church. Then again, about half the number of students have other plans. Some belong to another denomination. Other students want to become religious educators or Bible translators. Studying theology will provide you deeper insight into the questions of faith anyhow.

The Restored Reformed Seminary is characterized by an orthodox Reformed profile and a spiritual-experiential slant. Our presence at VU Amsterdam shows that we want to take seriously all questions from our current culture and modern theological developments in order to seek biblical-reformed answers to them.

More about studying at the Restored Reformed Seminary
