Study in-person with Chaplain Eva at Denver Seminary
Denver Seminary prepares men and women to engage the needs of the world with the redemptive power of the gospel and the life-changing truth of Scripture. We believe that five characteristics are woven throughout the tapestry of our school’s history and remain central to our distinct institutional identity: Biblical Authority, Vigorous Scholarship, Charitable Orthodoxy, Redemptive Relationships, and Global Concern.
Come study with me to learn the basics or to advance your knowledge. Denver Seminary offers master’s degrees and certificates in chaplaincy and pastoral care. - Eva

“If an empathetic counselor and a brilliant Bible scholar got matched on some Christian dating site, got married, and had a baby she'd be Dr. Eva Bleeker! She's the loveliest amalgamation of compassion and wisdom—engaging with her is the equivalent of encountering Christoformic grace.”

"It's rare to find such theological depth brought to the questions of pastoral counseling, but Eva has impressed me with her remarkable exegetical skills that opens Scripture in new, pastorally sensitive ways. Eva's incredible insights help trauma survivors heal. Moreover, she shows us how the Church can do better to reduce trauma situations, and to live in spiritual and emotional health."
—DR. LYNN COHICK, Distinguished Professor of New Testament and Director of Houston Theological Seminary
