WEC 2025 Alumni Page
We invite you to join us during wEC week
All of our DTS alumni are welcome to join our current students, staff, and faculty this year for our annual World Evangelization Conference (WEC). The tradition of WEC at DTS started in 1953, making WEC 2025 the 73rd annual WEC Conference. We would love to have you join us for any and all events.
For the first time, we are hosting a special Ice Cream Social with Alumni to honor all of our alumni who have participated in missions and allow our current students to meet with you and learn from your experience, wisdom, and stories. This Ice Cream Social will take place on Tuesday, March 11th at 3pm in Lamb Auditorium. If you plan to attend this event, please let us know in advance. We would love to know you are planning to attend.
If you attend any WEC event, feel free to stop by the welcome table in the Bailey Student Center to get your special alumni nametag. In addition, please visit the Alumni office in the Mitchell Ministries Center next to the Legacy Center to say hello and get your alumni mug and update your information.

Ice Cream Social
Our mission-minded students would like to extend a special invitation to alumni with hearts for missions. Join DTS students for an ice cream social on Tuesday, March 11 at 3:00 p.m.! If you serve or have served through mission work, please enjoy ice cream and encourage our students with hearts for the mission field.

It is not only Scriptural but logical that the greatest present purpose of God, after having made the supreme sacrifice to provide a Saviour for the world, is that the knowledge of that Saviour shall be taken to the people for whom Christ died. This is the task laid upon every born again person, and should be received, I believe, as the supreme task in each life. The Evangelical Theological College is attempting to put this great responsibility first upon the conscience of every student, and we believe that, whether a man is called to preach in a church at home or to go to a mission field, he is equally responsible for a missionary career and activity. Perhaps the pastor at home needs to be even a more enthusiastic preacher and promoter of missions that the man who goes to the field, for it is our home situation that makes the work on the field possible.
