Meet Our Adjunct Faculty for 2026–27

One of the distinctives of Reformation Bible College is the opportunity students have to learn from faculty who faithfully serve both the academy and the church.

Alongside our full-time faculty, RBC is blessed to have adjunct professors who bring years of experience in pastoral ministry, Christian scholarship, and leadership into the classroom.

Our adjunct faculty are valued members of our academic community who share RBC’s commitment to prepare students who know God, serve His church, and faithfully engage the world with biblical truth.

We are grateful for the men and women who faithfully serve our students each year. Below, you’ll find our adjunct faculty for the 2026–27 academic year. Explore their biographies, learn about their ministry and academic experience, and discover the courses they’re teaching.
