Tuition
There are so many key factors to consider when choosing a seminary, like doctrinal position, philosophy of ministry, faculty, curriculum, library resources, and the quality of graduates produced. While money isn’t everything, it’s still an unavoidable and necessary part of your seminary decision.
As a ministry of Inter-City Baptist Church, DBTS can offer our seminary classes at a reduced rate. Every student attending DBTS has their tuition subsidized by the church. This allows us to offer an affordable education without sacrificing academic quality.
