Faculty Q&A
I am constantly looking for ways to point students to the local church. The church provides our students with the best environment for spiritual growth, the development of spiritual gifts, and the application of what we learn in class. The church isn’t just a future vocation; it is a present calling for all believers.
I love the atmosphere of warmth and community at MBTS. Administration, faculty, staff, and students display a genuine heart for Christ, and this shared commitment to Christ and His gospel makes MBTS a wonderful place to teach.
Many of our students grew up in a post-9/11 world, lived through financial collapse, and weathered a global pandemic. As a result, I am seeing students who are increasingly resiliant and dedicated to the cause of Christ, even if it leads to suffering. I am constantly impressed by the maturity and dedication of our students, and I am excited to see how the Church will benefit from their ministry in the years to come.
