Colleagues celebrate Bixby's service to BBC&S

Dr. Howard Bixby was honored this week at several events held to commemorate his 22 years of service at Baptist Bible College & Seminary. Among the activities where faculty, friends, and staff recognized his service were special chapels at the College and Seminary and a staff reception in Jackson Hall.

Dr. Bixby is retiring as Seminary Dean and Vice President of Seminary Academics on June 1. He will continue to teach module classes at BBS.

A native of Vermont, Dr. Bixby began teaching at the Seminary in 1979. He came to the Seminary full-time as the Vice President for College & Seminary Academics in 1986.

Prior to his time at BBC&S, Dr. Bixby taught at several other Christian colleges and seminaries. He also served as a pastor at Calvary Baptist Church of Grand Rapids, MI, for nearly 20 years. Dr. Bixby shares his reflections here.

Dr. Bixby plans to focus on assisting churches and pastors after leaving full-time service at BBC&S.

"I sense the Lord moving me to concentrate more intently on providing consultations, mentoring, and seminars for churches and their pastors," Dr. Bixby said."A more flexible schedule will allow this to happen."

Dr. Bixby can be reached at 570.585.9230 and hbixby@bbc.edu. Read more information about Dr. Bixby here.
