Carrying the Story Forward: Dr. Eva Bleeker’s Vision for Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care at Denver Seminary

Following in the footsteps of a legend, Dr. Eva Bleeker steps into her role as the Rev. Dr. Jan McCormack Endowed Chair, bringing a passion for storytelling, mentorship, and equipping students for transformative ministry.

Learn more about Dr. Bleeker’s story here.

“My goal for our students is that they can slow down enough to align the story they’re telling themselves with the story God is telling through their lives. If we graduate students who are aligned with the big story God is telling in the world, then we have set them up well for the rigors and rewards of a career in pastoral care.”
Dr. Eva Bleeker, Rev. Dr. Jan McCormack Endowed Chair of Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care

Introducing Dr. Mark Husbands

Denver Seminary began its 75th year on January 1, marking a historic milestone with the selection of Dr. Mark Husbands as its eighth president. Dr. Husbands officially assumed the role at the start of the new year.

“My hope and prayer is that God will richly bless Denver Seminary as it steadfastly upholds its mission and core values. I aim to serve the Seminary by cherishing its exceptional legacy, strengthening its commitment to Christ and Scripture, and advancing its commitment to providing extraordinary formation for students as they pursue God’s call on their lives.”
