SEMINARY
OF THE
FUTURE
Denver Seminary prepares men and
women to engage the needs of the world
with the redemptive power of the gospel
and the life-changing truth of Scripture.
Our
Mission
The need for theologically trained pastors, teachers, counselors, and missionaries has never been
greater. Our nation has seen a dramatic increase in loneliness, anxiety, and a distrust of
ministry leaders.
In addition, growing secularization means that our faith appears not only irrelevant in the daily life of
people in Western nations but, to many, even offensive. And yet, the hope of the gospel and the healing
presence of God's people are needed more today than ever before.
While the need for training is great, traditional
models of seminary education alone no longer
meet the needs of today's students and the
global Church. Most of our students have
families, jobs, and ministries that demand their
time, energy, and attention. Many, especially
international students, simply cannot relocate
to Denver to attend seminary. If students can't
come to us, we must go to them.
Loneliness
Denver Seminary seeks to
train gospel-centered leaders
to help meet this need.
