Dallas Theological Seminary

Dallas Theological Seminary is the largest non-denominational seminary accredited by ATS, running ThM, MA, DMin and PhD programmes in Dallas, Houston, Washington DC and online. Its alumni include Chuck Swindoll, Tony Evans, Andy Stanley and David Jeremiah.

But the part that matters to most people costs nothing. At courses.dts.edu the same faculty teach full courses free of charge, with a free app to follow them on. If you want serious teaching and cannot pay for a degree, this is the strongest recommendation on this page.

Dallas Theological Seminary does not sponsor or endorse Embassy of the Kingdom, and we are not affiliated with them. We list them because we checked them and would put them in a friend’s hands. If you lead a ministry and would like to be considered, or believe something here should be corrected, write to us — we read every message ourselves.
