“One of the best elements of the TEDS community is the opportunity to learn, worship, laugh, and do life with Christians from all around the world.”
Cooper Bryan '24
The DMin has been a perfect complement to my MDIV. TEDS Surrounded me with seasoned yet humble Christian mentors who are passionate about sharing the wisdom God has given to them. I'm particularly thankful for how they introduced me to vast fields of study, but always with a framework shaped by a biblical worldview
