During college, one of my professors challenged our homiletics class like this: “You’re a preacher of the Word—so mind your business!” As a college student, the wisdom of those words inspired me. As a pastor, the wisdom of those words amazes me.
Preaching the wonderful Word of God to others is the greatest business you could ever undertake. It’s the most awesome calling and responsibility you could ever accept. That’s why preaching requires diligent preparation and demands the highest level of faithfulness.
The heartbeat and lifeblood of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary is the “business” of preaching. Our aim is to glorify God by preparing you to study the Word and proclaim its authoritative message to men and women in local churches.
By God’s grace, we are confident that we can fulfill this purpose. We will immerse you in serious study of the original languages along with theology and exegesis/exposition of the Word itself. We will challenge you to ground your life and ministry in knowing the God who has called you to salvation.
If God is burdening you to pursue the “business” of preaching, then come to Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary. We’re eager to prepare you for the exciting privilege of making disciples in the local church.

From the Academic Dean
From the earliest days of the church, believers have been called to “contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints.” Throughout history, men like Athanasius, Luther, and Spurgeon have exemplified courageous conviction—faithful witnesses whose lives demonstrate that careful study and faithful proclamation of Scripture are essential to the health and witness of the church.
At Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, we share that same commitment to the unchanging authority of Scripture and to preparing servants of Christ who can proclaim His Word with clarity, wisdom, and grace. Every course—from biblical languages to pastoral theology—is designed to deepen your confidence in God’s truth and strengthen your ability to communicate it effectively.
Our faculty are both scholars and shepherds, devoted to helping students grow not only in knowledge but also in character. Here, you will find a community of likeminded believers working together to know God and His Word more fully.
If your desire is to follow in the footsteps of faithful believers throughout church history and serve Christ’s church in this generation, we would be honored to help prepare you for that task.
