Experience Life as a TMS Student

Preview Weekend gives prospective students the opportunity to experience life at The Master's Seminary, life at Grace Community Church, and life in Los Angeles. As you consider training for pastoral ministry at TMS, we want to provide you with as much information as possible in order to aid you in making your decision. We believe this event will help us accomplish that goal. You will have the opportunity to meet our faculty, sit in on classes, ask questions of our admissions counselors, and meet many other prospective students and their wives who are also considering TMS. We hope you will be able to join us for this special event from October 12-16. To register to attend Preview Weekend, call our admissions office at 818-909-5624 or email admissions@tms.edu.

What Students Have Said

“Preview Weekend was the determining factor in my decision to uproot and leave Arizona for this truly special place.” — Vernon Benton

“My wife attended Preview Weekend with me; she was nervous about whether we could move from rural Virginia to Los Angeles. We came away from the weekend knowing that this was where we should be and that the Holy Spirit would give our family strength.” — Callaway Cass

“Preview Weekend confirmed to my wife and I that The Master’s Seminary was the right place for me to be trained for ministry. We simply needed to step out and trust the Lord.” — Chase Cartmell

“Over the course of the trip we established meaningful relationships with faculty and prospective students, many of which have since become lifelong friendships. We departed Los Angeles with our hearts rejoicing in Christ-centered fellowship, eagerly yearning to return at the first possible opportunity.” — Andrew Wilkerson
