Dallas Theological Seminary and Grace Bible Church have a deep relationship, with many DTS graduates serving on staff and many DTS students worshiping within the church community. In addition, DTS graduates teach in the Grace Fellows Program, and both institutions have a shared mission to equip the next generation with a love of God’s word and His people.
DTS has officially recognized the Grace Fellows Program. As a result, Fellows who continue on to attend DTS can earn up to 40 hours of a degree. During the Fellows Program, a Fellow will also have the opportunity to take live DTS classes on-site.
Students can test out of a portion of their degree for free. We prepare our Fellows through some of our in-house courses to test out of these classes.
A few of our in-house courses count for credit in certain degrees at DTS (see class structure above to see which classes count for credit).
DTS comes 1 to 2 times a semester to teach Hybrid in-person courses on site at Grace Bible Church. These courses are a rotation of the required Systematic Theology courses. Here is the schedule for the rotation of courses offered here in town. We also give space during the Summer semesters and the Spring semester of the Second Year to take additional online DTS courses.

DTS Staff come to Grace once a semester to provide lunch for the Fellows, get to know them, and help them register for classes. We do expect all of our DTS Fellows to be at these lunches.
Once a year, we offer a trip to visit DTS and attend their DTS Preview Day. This trip includes an opportunity to meet with professors, tour campus, participate in a class, worship in chapel, and receive more info about DTS. This is typically a Thursday night-Friday afternoon trip, and it only costs Fellows $10 to attend. This is not a required trip, but it is helpful for students who want to experience DTS campus.
