DR. TOM DODGEN RETIRES The Board of Trustees of Dallas Christian College gratefully acknowledged Dr. C. Thomas Dodgen upon the occasion of his retirement, recognizing his service to the Kingdom of God. Dr. Dodgen’s faithful ministry to Dallas Christian College for eight years, serving in multiple capacities, is a testament to his heart for God’s ministry and His people. His influence is evident in the college’s financial stewardship and the lives of students and alumni who learned from him in the classroom. As Dr. Dodgen begins this sabbath chapter of his life, he does so with the prayers and blessings of a grateful DCC family.
