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. 57% of adults reported experiencing recent loneliness. 1 Anxiety 56% of young adults report increasing levels of anxiety and social distress. 1 Discontent Over half (53%) of pastors have considered leaving the ministry altogether. 2 Building on our history, Denver Seminary is at the forefront of making educationally excellent, spiritually transformative, and professionally relevant theological education available for global students. 1 https://www.barna.com/research/five-themes-to-frame-next-gen-discipleship/ 2 https://www.christianpost.com/news/over-half-of-american-pastors-have -considered-quitting-poll.html
