History

On April 22, 2011, five members of the Erskine College and Seminary faculties issued a Good Friday Statement addressing toleration of neo-orthodoxy among the Seminary faculty and supporting their understanding of the Bible as "inerrant in the original autographs" as the official position of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church.^[3] The Seminary began strengthening conservative and evangelical positions and alliances. Michael A. Milton, the former chancellor of Reformed Seminary, president of Knox Theological Seminary, Chaplain (Colonel) USA Ret., and a longtime pastor in the Presbyterian Church in America, became Provost in December 2019.^[4]
