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 />
