Howdy from Dallas! My name is Michael Machart, and I am an MACL student at the Dallas campus of DTS. I am a central Texas native (Austin area), and I love all things Texas BBQ. After receiving my undergraduate degree from Dallas Baptist University, I felt the call to pursue full-time ministry at a church plant in southern California. During this time, it became evidently clear that I needed further ministry preparation in the study of God's word in order to lead his people well. Returning from California, I decided to pursue the Master of Arts in Christian Leadership degree, and I hope to return to full-time ministry in the local church. If you are looking to better serve God's Church, I would love to help you in your admissions process here at DTS!
