Adjunct Instructor of Biblical Studies
As a young pastor Paul realized a huge gap when it came to his “declaring the whole counsel of God” to his flock and so worked on back-filling that personal and pastoral gap with remedial studies of the First Testament.
By God’s grace, he brings to the seminary classroom experience in pastoring, church-planting, hospital chaplaincy, teaching and leading in theological education, consulting, and board governance. Learning and serving has taken him to thirty countries on four continents and an opportunity for him and his family to live in a 900 year old house. His favorite “hobby” is family. He and his wife Lois are grateful parents of three and grandparents of five.
