Truett Seminary

Discernment does not end with clarity of calling; it moves toward faithful placement and lived ministry. For Kenneth McNeil, director of Ministry Connections, that movement is where much of his work is situated. His role places him at a critical point in the life of the Seminary, where formation meets vocation and where students begin to step into the work they have been preparing to do.

Baylor’s Truett Seminary announced today its intention to open an additional location in Dallas, Texas at Park Cities Baptist Church beginning in the fall of 2027. With its main campus located in Waco, Truett currently has additional locations in Houston at the Lanier Theological Library and Learning Center and in San Antonio at Trinity Baptist Church. As with Truett Houston and Truett San Antonio, Truett Dallas is planning to offer Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in Christian Ministry, and Master of Theological Studies degrees in their entirety through seminar-style, in-person instruction. Doctor of Ministry cohorts are also anticipated at Truett Dallas.  

The journey into theological education often begins long before a student steps into a classroom. For many, it begins with a conversation, a question, or a moment of uncertainty. For Ana Johnson, coordinator of enrollment management at Truett Seminary, those early moments are not incidental; they are foundational. Her work places her at the front edge of the Truett experience, where discernment first takes shape and where students begin to imagine what their calling might become.

The Baptist World Alliance (BWA) and Baylor University are launching a new academic partnership designed to equip Baptist leaders for global service in a rapidly changing world. Beginning August 1, veteran Baptist educator and leader Stephen M. Stookey, PhD, will serve as the inaugural BWA Program Director housed at Baylor University’s George W. Truett Theological Seminary.
