Motivated by the bold vision and steadfast leadership of Dr. Felix Gilbert, Denver Seminary established the Dr. Felix Gilbert Endowed Scholarship. Dr. Gilbert spread a contagious passion for equipping the urban community to share the good news of the gospel, and he saw seminary education as key to this pursuit. Dr. Gilbert invited all to participate in this vision, and it is because of this shared vision and your support that we are able to offer this scholarship to our students. Denver Seminary is immeasurably thankful for Dr. Gilbert’s impact on our institution and community. We are proud to honor his legacy by providing our urban-focused students with the Dr. Felix Gilbert Endowed Scholarship.
“Preacher, worship leader, pastor, professor, encourager, mentor, and friend, Dr. Gilbert enriched our lives and changed Denver Seminary in profound and beautiful ways.”
– Dr. Mark Young, Chancellor
