About the NOBTS Faculty

The NOBTS faculty combines exceptional academic preparation with outstanding ministerial experience.

Academic Excellence

Our faculty members have earned a total of over 75 master's degrees from 7 different seminaries and 15 universities, and over 55 doctoral degrees from 6 seminaries and 6 universities. Their ongoing research is reflected in the Seminary's research centers and institutes.

Ministerial Experience

The NOBTS faculty averages over 15 years each in ministry experience in local churches and mission settings, including a number of pastors, education ministers, and music ministers; nine former international missionaries; two former directors of missions; and a state convention executive director. Others have served in counseling ministries and social work mission centers. Almost all of them are currently involved in some expression of ministry. That's why we call NOBTS "The Church Place."

Doctrinal Integrity

Our faculty is committed to doctrinal integrity. Each faculty member subscribes to our doctrinal statements, the Baptist Faith and Message and the Articles of Religious Belief.  Our President has signed "One Faith, One Task, One Sacred Trust:  A Covenant Between Our Churches and Seminaries," a pledge to doctrinal faithfulness.  And the faculty also recently joined the other Southern Baptist seminary faculties in endorsing "What God Has Joined Together:  A Resolution in Defense of Marriage."
