A Rich Tradition
In 1924, thirteen students met to study under noted Bible teacher Lewis Sperry Chafer, making up the first class of Dallas Seminary. For years, Chafer dreamed of a school where, as he put it, "the central study should be the Bible." This was unique because even in those days many Bible schools and seminaries didn't emphasize an in-depth study of the Scripture.
For well over seven decades, Dallas Seminary has maintained its allegiance to biblical truth. In fact, our curriculum is rare in that it includes the study of every one of the 66 books of the Bible, along with practical training to enable you to communicate your knowledge to others. We also incorporate courses that develop the character of students and encourage their spiritual growth.
Our mission is to prepare men and women for ministry as godly servant-leaders in the body of Christ worldwide.
We do this by blending instruction in the Scriptures with practice in ministry and communication skills. When you graduate, you'll be ready to do the work of evangelism, as well as disciple other believers and equip them to do the same.
