The Master's Seminary was founded in 1986 by Dr. John MacArthur and is located on the campus of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California. The Master's College, an undergraduate Christian liberal arts college, and the seminary comprise a single corporation whose official name is The Master's College and Seminary. Theologically, The Master's Seminary is conservative and evangelical, affirming biblical inerrancy, a Reformed view of soteriology, and a Dispensational, premillennial position in eschatology. They have an extremely thorough doctrinal statement, which covers all aspects of their beliefs in a systematic fashion. All members of the Board of Directors, Seminary Administration, and Faculty must annually sign a statement affirming complete agreement with the doctrinal statement. The belief system is incorporated in the instructional tenents of their programs, emphasizing intense study of the Biblical languages, expository preaching, nouthetic counseling, and personal holiness. The Master's Seminary is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
