Another option is to consider The North American Reformed Seminary (TNARS). TNARS is a Reformed Christian seminary and a WRF member that seeks to educate the body of Christ completely free of charge. TNARS enables Christians to get a seminary level education without going into debt (Rom 13:8).
This allows our graduates to focus on God's call in their lives instead of how they can best pay off their seminary debt. Not only will this help our students by keeping them out of debt, it will also help small churches retain educated pastors without having to pay a large salary to offset their seminary education debt. http://www.tnars.net/
