The Log College & Seminary

As you may recall, our private social forum - Log College Fellowship - disappeared overnight with no explanation from the provider (Choyr). This was a free service for churches and related institutions. Since this is no longer an option for us, we have created a new social forum with Ning. LCS students, mentors, and alumni will receive an invitation email containing the link to join. If you don't receive the email, check your Spam folder as it may land there! The Log College Fellowship is our private social forum for LCS alumni, mentors, and students. It's very similar to Facebook, and you even get to create your own profile. Post, chat, message, discussion forum, it's all there. Think of it as Log College Family time!

Please join us in welcoming our first LCS Dean of Students, Dr. Scott Bushey! In this new role, Dr. Bushey will routinely contact each student to pray, discuss course/program progress, provide encouragement, and provide discipleship in the ways of experiential Calvinism! Students, be on the lookout for an email, text, or call from Dr. Bushey as he begins his new role this month. If you have changed your email address or phone number in the last 12 months, please email the seminary so we can update your student file! Welcome, Dr. Scott Bushey!

What must an elder/bishop/pastor/minister know?

He must know the account of the Bible
He must know the affirmations of the Bible
He must know the applications of the Bible
He must know the apologetics for the Bible

But most importantly,

He must know the Author of the Bible! -

Grateful to continue my onsite historical research during this 300th Anniversary trip, focusing on Samuel Blair's ministry at F***s Manor and his academy (possibly the originally intended successor to the Log College), and Robert Smith at Pequea, a student of Blair who also established an academy modeled after the Log College. We must learn from the past so we can lead for the future! - John McDonald

Had a wonderful time at tonight's 300th Anniversery Banquet celebrating William Tennent/Neshaminy Presbyterian Church/Log College. The last celebration was 1927! We remember God's great work in the past, and we look to the future in anticipation. He did it before. He can do it again! Here I am pictured with Dr. Timothy Tennent (descendant of William Tennent, Jr.) and Wendy Wirsch, President of the William Tennent House Association (dressed as Katherine Kennedy Tennent). - John McDonald

Rev. Albert Martin passed into glory Tuesday, April 7th, a wonderful model and example of dedicated pastoral ministry and faithful expository preaching with focused application. An inspiration to multiple generations of aspiring Reformed ministers, he will be dearly missed.
