Theology Matters: MATS Alumnus Michael Crumpler
"Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My name is Michael Thomas Crumpler, and I am a proud graduate of Dallas Baptist University. I count it a privilege and honor to have attended DBU, and I call myself an alumnus and a member of Theta Alpha Kappa (DBU Chapter). I attended DBU as a transfer student from January 2022 to May 2023, when I finished my MATS (Master of Arts in Theological Studies) degree. I have attended several schools in my education. However, DBU stands out as the greatest in equipping me more for the ministry and walking closer to my Savior. Through my studies in the MATS degree program, I concentrated heavily on the Bible, following God's leadership, and servant leadership. Some of the most Godly and caring professors I have ever met are at DBU.
