The primary goal of the RPC Academic Program is to enable Catholic students who come to Trinity Western University to gain a solid foundation and formation in their own Catholic intellectual and cultural heritage, even while they take advantage of the many opportunities for intellectual growth and development that Trinity Western has to offer. When Catholic students come to RPC/TWU, they can discover and explore all the beauty and wisdom of the Catholic worldview, as well as significant points of contact and common ground with our Evangelical brothers and sisters in Christ. At the same time, the courses offered at RPC – especially our unique, upper level philosophy and religious studies classes – are designed to enrich the variety of courses offered in the TWU academic program, from an authentically “Catholic” perspective: faithful to Scripture, the Catholic Tradition, and the authentic teachings of the Church’s magisterium.
You can explore the Catholic heritage in a number of ways at RPC: for example, by taking the courses needed to attain a Catholic Studies Minor, a Catholic Education Certificate, or a Catholic Theological Studies Certificate – or even just taking a few courses for your own benefit. Whether you are a full-time or part-time student, or whether you simply want to audit a course out of personal interest, RPC courses will help you to deepen your faith and enrich your knowledge.
Of special note is the Redeemer Pacific College Catholic Teacher Education Program. This program enables aspiring Catholic teachers to do in-depth study of the Catholic worldview, and Catholic perspectives on the philosophy and practice of education, as part of their teacher-training Bachelor of Education program at TWU.
All RPC professors make an annual oath of loyalty to the Catholic Faith, and to the teachings of the Church’s magisterium, and RPC Theology professors have their ‘mandatum’ to teach the Catholic Faith from the Archdiocese of Vancouver, in accordance with the Apostolic Exhortation “Ex Corde Ecclesia.”
