Our Mission
The mission of Dallas Theological Seminary as a professional, graduate-level school is to glorify God by equipping godly servant-leaders for the proclamation of his Word and the building up of the body of Christ worldwide.
Why DTS?
Our core beliefs, world-class degree programs, and modern flexibility create the perfect environment for you to become immersed in Scripture, enamored with Jesus, and equipped for the church.

Teaching truth and loving well are at the heart of DTS. We believe that teaching truth without love and loving apart from truth fall short of the example set by Christ, the perfect embodiment of both truth and love. If we teach truth without love, we fail to communicate Christ’s invitation of grace. And attempting to love apart from truth neglects the foundation from which love derives its meaning. Neither truth nor love is an end in itself; they are inextricably linked, working together for the proclamation of the gospel and the building up of the body of Christ.
Our goal at DTS, therefore, is to develop leaders who are biblically rooted in their theology and relationally sound in their engagement with others. We want our students, faculty, and staff to be shaped by their love for God and equipped to teach truth, that we may all love the people we serve.
Core Values
Our core values reflect our mission as a seminary and embody our pursuit of teaching truth and loving well.
Outside of my family and church, DTS has played the most foundational
role in my spiritual development. The seminary shaped my theological
understanding and its application to my preaching, discipleship, and
ministry development. My coursework became an opportunity to assess
my leadership, revealing potential for further development, personally
and positionally. I’m still applying this kind of personal assessment in
my service at church and at DTS.
