Baylor University’s George W. Truett Theological Seminary will open an additional location in Dallas at Park Cities Baptist Church in fall 2027.
Truett Dallas will offer degree programs for the Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in Christian Ministry, and a Master of Theological Studies through seminar-style, in-person instruction. Doctor of Ministry cohorts will also be included.
Todd Still, dean of Truett Seminary, said in the announcement, the move will offer Dallas area residents an option with easier access to the seminary.
“One way we have sought to make a Truett-quality education increasingly accessible and affordable is to join hands with supportive congregations in our state’s major urban centers,” Still said.
“To be able to partner in this new endeavor with our old friends at the historic, strategic Park Cities Baptist Church, along with other anchor churches in Dallas and throughout the Metroplex, is a joyful, hopeful development for us and, we trust, for the students and constituents we will serve.”
Truett is preparing for the Dallas launch with its accreditors to gain the necessary approvals, meeting with prospective students and potential partners, and seeking to hire an inaugural director for Truett Dallas.
Truett Seminary has engaged in collaborative efforts in the past to explore the potential for expansion beyond Waco. Truett has additional locations in San Antonio at Trinity Baptist Church and in Houston at the Lanier Theological Library and Learning Center.
