Outreach and Connections

Meeting you where you are is part of who we are

Our mission's reach does not end with academics. UDTS faculty are invested in the church through public teaching and lecture opportunities as well as through leadership in the church. They are pastors, ruling elders, and deacons as well as professors and scholars in their fields. UDTS also works to connect students to churches and ministries.

Public Teaching and Lectures

In service to the church, faculty are available to teach and speak at conferences and workshops, church and council gatherings, and other programs and events.

Ministry Placement and Field Experience

For churches and organizations seeking to hire seminary students and graduates, UDTS offers an online Opportunities Board for alumni and students to see postings that are sent to the seminary. To post internships, pulpit supply, temporary in-residence positions, and full- or part-time ministry opportunities, please email Placement@dbq.edu.

Partnership Opportunities

At UDTS, we are eager to build partnerships that strengthen the church. Do you have a local group of leaders seeking training in preaching or polity? Let us build a congregational equipping cohort with you. Are you looking for a place to host a conference or seminar? Partner with our Dubuque campus as a host. Do you have an existing training or equipping program that you would like to enhance with seminary voices and scholarship? In these ways and more, we are excited to build partnerships and collaborations for the benefit of the church and communities. Contact us to explore partnerships today.
