2. ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY<br />

The <strong>Faculty</strong><br />

The faculty of <strong>Lincoln</strong> <strong>Christian</strong> Seminary are some of the most widely<br />

experienced <strong>and</strong> highly educated people found on any seminary faculty. They have<br />

completed advanced degrees at more than a dozen universities <strong>and</strong> seminaries,<br />

including such well-known institutions as Indiana <strong>University</strong>, the <strong>University</strong> of<br />

Chicago, the <strong>University</strong> of Southern California, Fuller Theological Seminary,<br />

Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary,<br />

<strong>and</strong> Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Eleven are also graduates of our own<br />

Seminary.<br />

The faculty complement their<br />

advanced degrees with a<br />

variety of experiences in both<br />

local church ministries <strong>and</strong> in<br />

global outreach opportunities.<br />

Most of them have served as<br />

preaching ministers, <strong>and</strong> most<br />

have served overseas. The<br />

Seminary faculty have taught<br />

or served in more than twenty<br />

countries around the world.<br />

<strong>Faculty</strong> have served<br />

as leaders within the North<br />

American <strong>Christian</strong> Convention <strong>and</strong> the National Missionary Convention, as well<br />

as with other professional organizations such as the Academy of Homiletics, the<br />

Chaplaincy Endorsement Commission, <strong>and</strong> the North American Professors of<br />

<strong>Christian</strong> Education. They are in frequent dem<strong>and</strong> as guest preachers, teachers,<br />

speakers, <strong>and</strong> leaders for churches, conventions, <strong>and</strong> conferences.<br />

Despite their frequent external responsibilities worldwide, the Seminary<br />

faculty devote the core of their ministry to the students of <strong>Lincoln</strong> <strong>Christian</strong><br />

Seminary. With a low student to faculty ratio of only 14.3:1, the Seminary is able<br />

to provide the kind of intimate learning environment in which students come to<br />

know their instructors not only as faculty but also as friends. A recent survey<br />

of seminary graduates in the United States <strong>and</strong> Canada indicates that <strong>Lincoln</strong><br />

graduates rate their relationship to the faculty here much higher than do other<br />

seminary graduates.<br />
