Meet Denver Seminary President Dr. Mark Husbands
Meet Dr. Mark Husbands, the eighth president of Denver Seminary, as he shares his vision for equipping students to engage the world with grace, truth, and the transformative power of Scripture.
Dr. Husbands reflects on what inspires his leadership, his passion for charitable orthodoxy, and his excitement for Denver Seminary’s mission—preparing students to engage the needs of the world with the redemptive power of the gospel and the life-changing truth of Scripture.
Letter from the President
There are few places in the world quite like Denver Seminary, where the life-giving truth of Scripture guides our worship, learning, and witness. As I step into leadership of this remarkable institution, I am deeply impressed by the way that Denver Seminary equips Christians to live out the gospel with grace, joy, and hope—offering the world a credible and compelling witness. Amid the deep spiritual and cultural challenges of our time, Denver Seminary is needed today more than ever.
Over the coming weeks, you will hear more about a shared effort to develop Christ-centered leaders and pastors through the Seminary of the Future campaign. For 75 years, we have cultivated minds and hearts capable of being instruments of God’s grace, healing, and renewal (2 Cor. 5:11-20). This is precisely why my wife Becky and I are excited to join Denver Seminary’s mission.
We invite you to share in the extraordinary work of preparing men and women to step into the suffering, uncertainty, and longing of this age with the love and truth of Christ. To do this, we must strive to make excellent theological education as innovative, accessible and affordable as possible. The Seminary of the Future campaign is our answer to that call. Through this campaign, we will expand scholarships to relieve financial burdens, enhance digital and on-campus learning experiences, and strengthen the Seminary’s foundation for generations to come.
We are asking you to join us. Your generosity will not simply sustain an institution; it will sustain the calling of those who will go forth to shepherd the lost, counsel the broken, and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. Every gift—whether large or small—is a wonderful expression of your love and care for students preparing for lives of ministry and service to others.
When you provide a one-time or monthly gift to the Seminary of the Future campaign, you help form and strengthen the voices that will carry the gospel throughout the world.
As Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote, “Christ plays in ten thousand places.” We see His presence here woven into the fabric of this Seminary, shaping the lives of our students, and moving through the generosity of those who believe in this mission. Thank you for prayerfully considering how you might join in this sacred work.
Grace and peace,
Mark Husbands, PhD
President, Professor of Theology
Denver Seminary is building on our history to shape the future. In a rapidly secularizing world, the hope of the gospel and healing presence of God’s people are needed more today than ever before. To meet these challenges and opportunities before us now and into the future, Denver Seminary must make theological education more INNOVATIVE, more AFFORDABLE, and more SUSTAINABLE. To that end, we have embarked on a $23 million comprehensive campaign built upon these three pillars.
