Greetings from Academic Associate
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am honored to extend my warmest greetings as you begin to prepare your journey of ministry.
Judson Bible College exists to address the most pressing issues facing humanity. In the twenty-first century, we fully engage the academic enterprise but recognize that intellect alone will not solve the challenges, it is our faith that motivates us to focus a strong emphasis on the Scripture. As we embark on a new season of 2024 academic exploration and spiritual growth, your journey in theological education is not merely an intellectual pursuit; it is a divine calling to seek that diligently engage with the Word of God, as Paul charged to Timothy, that a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth, 2 Tim 2:15. The ultimate purpose of the Judson Bible College is to equip, empower, and entrust ministers who will be able to teach others.
This new academic year promises new opportunities, challenges, and moments of growth for all bof us. As your Academic Associate, I am committed to nurturing spiritual formation that promotes excellence in teaching, learning, and research. I pray that our collective efforts contribute significantly to our student’s academic and personal development with profound encounters with the divine, transformative insights, and a deepening of our faith.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the Holy Spirit’s fellowship be with us as we venture into the academic year ahead. In His service
