Committed to the Church
"One of the great things about Dubuque Seminary is that we are committed
at every level to the church. Most of our faculty are ordained, and most have years
of experience serving as pastors. We are active in our congregations and denominations.
Our students also have a strong sense that God has called them to serve Christ
in pastoral ministry. It is a joy to teach among people who share this clear,
common mission."
