Littleton, Colo. -Denver Seminary is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Don Payne to the position of Vice President of Academic Affairs, Academic Dean.

Payne has served in an interim capacity in this role since January 2021, overseeing the educational programs and faculty of Denver Seminary. He will continue as a member of the Seminary’s Executive Leadership Council.
