Voices of Inspiration
Legacy of Encouragement
"From a relatively small beginning in 1924, the seminary has grown and expanded, now reaching students all over the world. My hope for the next hundred years is that a global ethos would permeate every aspect of DTS."
Michael Ortiz
ThM, (2008)
Vice President for Global Ministries; Associate Professor of Missiology and Intercultural Ministries
"When I think about DTS, I admire the consistency and reliability of seeking the truth in the authority of the Word. I hope the seminary will remain consistent in teaching truth and loving well. I’m hopeful that DTS will continue to be a reputable institution to train future servants for their kingdom purpose."
Pierre Cannings
ThM, (2013)
Dean of Houston Campus
"I am a beneficiary of DTS’s reputation, and I want to uphold it, praying that DTS continues to hold to the Scriptures as the Word of God."
Rodney H. Orr
ThM, (1990)
Dean of Washington, DC Campus
"As DTS enters its second century, my prayer is that in ever-changing contexts, the seminary will never change in its passion for, diligence in, and prioritization of the values and commitments that grew a fledging institution into a world-class citadel of Christian orthodoxy and orthopraxy. May its vision never stray from the centrality of the gospel and the call to international proclamation of it!"
John D. Hannah
ThD, (1974)
Distinguished Professor of Historical Theology; Research Professor in Theological Studies
"The value of being in the DTS community is that it helps you appreciate why God has designed the church to be a body. I’d encourage others in the community to keep your eye on what you can learn, and keep developing what you do well, even as you see things that need to change. That’s the God-dependent environment I hope will always characterize DTS. I pray that the school continues to grow and adapt as it also seeks to be faithful to applying, not just understanding, Scripture."
Darrell Bock
ThM, (1979)
Senior Research Professor of New Testament; Executive Director of Cultural Engagement
"The DTS community is a family. There is a bond that happens at DTS that doesn’t happen at other schools. I have more relationships through DTS than I ever had at my own alma mater. I tell students they can travel the world with the relationships they form at DTS. We are truly a global campus, and our grads are everywhere."
George Hillman
MDiv, 1994
Vice President for Education; Professor of Educational Ministries & Leadership
"For one hundred years, DTS has remained true to our founder’s vision of honoring God’s powerful Word as the central book of study in order to equip ministry leaders to boldly tell the world about the good news of Jesus Christ. I believe it is our greatest strength."
