Clarksville - Our History

Testimonials

Evangelist Marvin West:

I believe that the call to preach is a call to prepare. Even if there is not a personal call to go into full time ministry, we live in a time in which there is so much confusion and so many different religions that it is extremely important to know our spiritual offensive weapon, the Word of God.

There are 2 main reasons why I chose CTS to study. First, they are an Independent Baptist College that stands on the King James Bible as the Word of God. There is NO question or confusion on that matter.

Second, it provided me the chance to get a great Bible education without causing me to move, therefore, allowing me to continue doing what I am doing in the ministry. It does not interfere with it but it certainly does enhance what I am doing in ministry.

I would recommend CTS to anyone whether they are called to preach or not just to know what the Bible teaches. It is important to know what you believe but it is also just as important to know why you believe what you believe.

Evangelist Bobby Johnston:

I chose to attend Clarksville Theological Seminary simply because it's a quality education that can be molded to my full-time ministry schedule. If I couldn't work at my own pace, there is absolutely no way I could get an education. There's no way I could cancel my meetings for a few years to attend an on campus school. However, I don't believe I'm "settling" for Clarksville. It's a good quality education.

I find very few schools that I can even recommend to others because of political correctness and compromise. Clarksville doesn't teach their students about the Bible, but teaches them from the Bible. Teaching students to get their answers from the Bible produces fundamental doctrine. Once a school leaves this philosophy, it's just a matter of time before they fall. I'm thankful that Clarksville is still a Bible based fundamental school.

I have recommended CTS to countless people all over the country with no second thought. There are many good schools to chose from, but they're not for everybody. If you want a quality education that can fit your full-time schedule and not break your bank account, there is no better choice than CTS.

In a day when man is constantly trying to re-invent the wheel and discover the next big thing, I'm thankful that Clarksville Theological Seminary simply sticks to the old teachings that need no improvement. Clarksville takes a strong stand on the Authorized King James Version of the Scriptures, without which we would not have the freedoms that we hold dear in this day.

Vicki Barham, Alumni 2014:

I would like to thank the college for making the courses available to work in a person's own time, not limited to a few weeks or months. It worked great with me to be able to do it in my time schedule. A lot of colleges you are pressed to meet their demands and schedules and it puts a lot of stress on people who want a bilbical education but do not have the time due to work, family, and church. Also, the courses are a great learning even to the most simplest of minds. You do not have to be a scholar to understand, you just have to read the Word and follow instructions given.
