With a heart for the gospel and devotion to scholarly excellence, Denver Seminary has, for more than 70 years, prepared and sent thousands of graduates into the world, eager to work for the glory of God and confidently equipped to share the redemptive truths of Scripture.

Our community – represented by over 50 denominations – is uniquely known for demonstrating steadfast dedication to the unchanging foundations of biblical faith, our commitment to charitable orthodoxy, and the deep relationships formed among faculty and students. We offer fully-accredited MDiv, MA, ThM, and DMin degrees – as well as a PhD program and numerous specialized concentrations and certificate options. Denver Seminary has campuses in Littleton, Colo. and Washington DC, with on-campus, online, and blended options that make our education accessible. We are fully committed to making exemplary theological studies available for all students.

Our beliefs are lived tangibly through the pursuit of faith-filled scholarship, missional commitments, and the work of our 6,000 alumni who serve across the globe, meeting the needs of the world and sharing the life-changing power of the gospel every day.

Denver Seminary has challenged me to pursue answers academically and then apply them to my personal and professional life. That has carried over into how I minister as I’m bringing new information and a fresh conviction to everything I do.

We are Guided by Our Core Commitments


In our pursuit of understanding the timeless truths of Scripture, our discussions, deeds and the manner in which we relate to one another are distinctly defined by a spirit of charitable orthodoxy.

As a community, we are committed to being known for relating to one another graciously, regardless of differing viewpoints. Our conversation is marked by compassion and respect and by listening before defending. In such, we foster a learning environment that upholds speaking truth in love as we strive toward our common goal of understanding Scripture and furthering God’s work in our world.

“At the heart of every believer’s calling is the ability to communicate the whole gospel clearly and compellingly. At Denver Seminary, we are commited to graduating students who are convinced that the redemptive power of the gospel and the life-changing truth of Scripture are the basis of ministry in every setting. ”
Dr. Mark Young, PRESIDENT
