Truett Seminary

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.

In 2006, Mulenga Chela from Zambia, was wrongfully imprisoned in a neighboring African country — but he refused to let that break him. During his time there, he shared the gospel with thousands of fellow prisoners. After two years he was released, and a few years later, a miraculous encounter in Zambia with a former interim president of Baylor University led him to Texas and to attend Baylor’s Truett Theological Seminary.
