Southwestern in the News
By Dr. Mark Denison
One of the world’s largest seminaries, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary continues to challenge students in and out of the classroom. Training men and women to change the world, SWBTS has scheduled numerous events and provided amazing opportunities for students to take the Gospel well beyond the campus, located in Fort Worth, Texas. These are just some of the things going on this summer at Southwestern. For more information, visit their website: swbts.edu.
