Our Faculty

Adjunct faculty members of the College are sought out not only with consideration of their academic backgrounds, but also for significant real-world ministry and leadership experience. SBC’s goal is to utilize and affirm instructors with an ability to motivate the student-learner, communicate effectively and interact with students on a personal and significant level.



Recent additions to the teaching team have broadened and enriched the school’s capabilities in effectively modeling, mentoring and imparting practical truths to the next generation of servant-leaders. The following are brief introductions to the members of the expanding SBC/CGSL adjunct faculty.
