Tap Into the Potential of Detroit

Get ready for gospel ministry in an urban center exploding with racial diversity. Detroit is a place of promise and paradox: with thriving businesses, bustling streets, and inner-city poverty. Our city is filled with people in need of the gospel.

Learn to Teach and Preach God's Word Accurately

At DBTS, you’ll absorb the original languages, integrate theological truths, and gain perspective on current issues. You’ll learn to prepare sermons that educate, challenge, and convict. Throughout your education you’ll form a cohesive biblical worldview for effective ministry.

Study with scholarly caring professors

In every class you’ll learn from godly men who blend their deep knowledge of the Word with a pastor’s heart. You’ll find open doors, open offices, shared meals, and shared lives. And before you move into vocational ministry, you’ll gain lifelong friendships—priceless.

Immerse Yourself in a Local Church Community

After all, that’s the way Christians grow and become devoted disciples of Jesus Christ. A Christ-honoring local church is the best place to turn classroom theory into practice. Here, your seminary experience and your church experience become one.
