Dynamic Theological Seminary has a rich and storied history that has significantly contributed to the field of theological education in the world. It is one of the fastest-growing Seminaries in the globe. It started with the vision of reforming the tainted unscriptural theology in the Body of Christ and thereby filling the visible lacuna and academic deficiencies in many frontlines seminaries and some conventional Universities in the world. It is a non-denominational Seminary by practice and teachings. Academic and non-academic staff are drawn from Frontline Churches and Pentecostal denominations.
The Seminary is currently in her mini property located at Stadium/ Ogume Road, Azunze, Kwale, Delta State, Nigeria. The idea and vision of the seminary were born in 2016 through the initiator Apostle Prof. Gold Sunday Chukwuemeka. But the dream officially came to limelight on the 14th of April 2019. The Seminary kick off at Number 5 Bazu Lane, Igwurutali-Alimini, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. In May 2019, the Seminary was relocated to Number 41, School Road, Igwuruta–Ali, Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Admission into various programmes commenced in 2019. More so, in January 2021 the school was relocated again to Exceeding Breed International School, Alimini Igwurutali, Port Harcourt. After the meeting of the management on having a permanent campus, the school was relocated to her mini permanent site in Kwale, Delta State on the 3rd of October, 2022.
One of the defining characteristics of Dynamic Theological Seminary is its commitment to academic excellence and innovation. The seminary has consistently attracted renowned faculty members who are not only experts in their fields but also passionate about equipping the next generation of religious leaders. Through their guidance and mentorship, students at Dynamic Theological Seminary have been able to engage with complex theological concepts and develop a deep understanding of their faith.
However, to meet the demand of the Federal Government of Nigeria to an extent, the management of the Seminary saw the need to register the school with the Federal Government of Nigeria. On the 9th of September 2020, the Federal Government of Nigeria issued a Certificate of Incorporation to the Seminary with this registration number (RC 1717101).
On the 21st of April, 2021, the Seminary affiliated all her programmes to Harvest Bible University, Los Angeles, California, United States. This development took the institution to a greater height. DTS is currently under the accreditation of the affiliated institution. Besides, the Seminary has started the process of affiliating some of her programmes to some Nigerian universities, particularly the undergraduate programmes.
