Greetings from the “Big D”! I’m so glad you’ve stopped by our Teams Admissions page. If you’re trying to figure out if DTS (or seminary for that matter!) is right for you, you’ve come to the right place! All of us have been in your shoes, and we know the kinds of questions you have. So if you’re confused, frustrated, or even overwhelmed by the decisions ahead, take heart…we’re here to help. It would be my privilege to chat with you and help you figure out where God might be leading you to better serve Him, whether that means here at DTS or elsewhere (though I might be a little biased). If God’s opening the door for you to get a seminary education, I want to help you walk through it!

From the moment I stepped on campus, I was struck by the immense history and tradition that surrounded me. And as I thought about all of the great men and women who had been trained by this storied institution, I couldn’t help but think, “Do I really get to be a part of this?!” Once the shock of being at the Dallas Theological Seminary wore off, I realized why DTS has produced so many notable ministry leaders and scholars over the years: the school most definitely lives up to its impressive reputation. I continue to be both amazed and challenged by the level of top-notch, biblically grounded education I receive here. And do you know what the coolest part of it all might be? Perhaps the only thing that impresses me more than the tradition and excellence of DTS is the fact that its classes are taught by some of the most humble men and women I have ever met. Humble hearts and world-class teaching—what a combination!

Choosing to move halfway across the country to live in a big city and study at a school where I knew no one was the hardest, scariest decision I’ve ever made. But you know what I’ve discovered? It was also the best decision I ever made. I’m constantly reminded and humbled by how God has used Dallas Theological Seminary to radically transform my walk with Christ and help me read and study His Word in ways that I never imagined were possible. If He can do that for me, trust me—I know He can do that and more for you!
