Denver Seminary

Denver Seminary is a private, evangelical Christian seminary with its main campus in Littleton, Colorado.

It includes a campus in Colorado, an extension campus in Washington, DC, and an online campus. It offers Masters programs in Arts, Divinity, and Theology, as well as a Doctorate in Ministry, along with counseling courses. In 2021, it enrolled over 1200 students from over 35 denominations.

In 1950, Denver Seminary was founded by members of the newly founded Conservative Baptist Association. This is a group of churches that separated from the Northern Baptist Convention over theological differences stemming from the fundamentalist–modernist controversy conflict earlier in the 20th century.[citation needed] The school was originally known as the Conservative Baptist Theological Seminary and was based in Englewood, Colorado.[citation needed] Carey Thomas became the Seminary's first president.[citation needed]

In 1956, Vernon Grounds was appointed as the second president and remained so until 1979.

In June 1962, the seminary was granted associate membership in the American Association of Theological Schools (now the Association of Theological Schools). Full ATS accreditation was achieved in 1971.[citation needed]

In 1972, full accreditation to the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools was achieved.[citation needed]

In 1982, the seminary changed its name to Denver Conservative Baptist Seminary.[citation needed]

In 1996, Clyde McDowell, the fifth president, introduced a program of training and mentoring for which Denver Seminary has become well known. During his time, the institute became the first seminary ever to receive accreditation by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP) for its counseling degree program. The institute is also accredited by the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education.[citation needed]
