Developing Servant Leaders

Serving Locally and Around the World

At the core of DBU's mission is the goal to produce servant leaders. DBU first-year and transfer students start their DBU experience by participating in local service projects during SWAT. Whether across the globe or just around the corner, for a week or an entire semester, you have so many opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus during college. From serving locally in the Dallas Fort Worth area to mission trips to traveling abroad, your time at DBU will be marked by seeing and serving the world!
