ENGAGE 23 In 1950 a group of pastors set out to create a flagship seminary for the fledgling association of Conservative Baptist churches in the Rocky Mountain region. Their concern was that the seminary train pastors and missionaries who would be faithful to the gospel and to the trustworthiness of Scripture. Now 70 years later, Denver Seminary has over 1,000 students, programs in three languages (English, Spanish and Korean), a world-class faculty, and over 6,000 alumni. The vision of that small group of pastors has come to fruition. Grounded in our commitments to biblical faith and gospel-centered mission, Denver Seminary will continue its legacy of training women and men to engage the needs of the world with the redemptive power of the gospel and the life-changing truth of Scripture. Like those who founded Denver Seminary 70 years ago, we believe that the Seminary will play a central role in the establishment of the Church in the Rocky Mountain region and to the ends of the earth. With the Lord's help, we will pursue the vision of our founders wholeheartedly as we look forward to the next 70 years of ministry. Denver Seminary Launches PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision Denver Seminary's new Doctor of Philosophy in Counselor Education and Supervision has begun accepting applications for classes beginning in Fall 2021. The four-year, fully-online, cohort-based, accredited* doctoral degree program is designed to prepare students to serve as skilled counselors, educators, and supervisors, grounded in the Christian faith. The PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision provides an integrative educational experience that will enable students to connect with professors and peers through interactive online environments and during an annual weeklong, in-person residency. "Our graduates will be recognized as leaders in counseling, counselor education, supervision, and research," said Dr. Ron Welch, administrative chair, Counseling Division. "Our program is unique in its integration of Christian biblical foundations across the entire curriculum of counseling theory and practice. This program expands Denver Seminary's outreach from training outstanding front-line counselors to 'training the trainers.' Our PhD program graduates will not only be extraordinary supervisors and educators in the counseling field, but will be prepared to engage in issues of advocacy and leadership on local, national, and international levels."
