The Alliance for AG Higher Education

It is with great joy that we can announce that we have raised FIVE MILLION DOLLARS of the match! That means that another $2.5m is being released and construction of the Valor Center can continue DEBT FREE!

Thank you! The EU family is strong! This milestone represents almost a million dollars raised each month. And that couldn’t happen without committed people just like you.

We are halfway to completing the full match of $10m. And I believe we will finish in record time because you are in this with us.

With the recent announcement from SAGU concerning their name change, here is a brief introduction to P.C. Nelson:

Congratulations on your new role Rev. Chris Palmer!

Southeastern University Appoints New Dean to Barnett College of Ministry & Theology

After a nationwide search that began in January, Southeastern University (SEU) has announced the appointment of Rev. Chris Palmer as the new dean of the Barnett College of Ministry & Theology (BCMT). Palmer is set to officially assume his role on July 1.

In this position, Palmer will guide and oversee the university’s ministry and theology programs, faculty and students at the main campus in Lakeland, as well as the many partners within the SEU Ministry Network.

“The accelerating change in culture has produced great need for both faithful scholars and impactful ministry practitioners,” said Palmer. “I’m committed to serving SEU in order to ensure our students are shaped to be both.”

Palmer will lead BCMT faculty and adjuncts to achieve collaborative growth of the ministry, theology and related programs, as well as contribute to strategic planning for the college’s programs, policies and faculty development. He will work closely with the president, institutional leaders and several offices on campus to achieve strategic plan objectives.

In addition, Palmer will advance thought leadership within the ministry networks, parachurch, nonprofit, business, research and higher education communities.

“When looking for someone to step into this role, we desired a leader who truly understands the direction that higher education is heading. We needed someone who could carry out an ambitious vision while fulfilling our commitment to serve the local church,” said President Kent Ingle. “I have no doubt that Palmer will find new and innovative ways to deliver education and train the next generation of ministry leaders.”

Prior to accepting this position, Palmer served as both the dean of students for Theos Seminary in Franklin, Tennessee, and the dean of theology at Austin Christian University in Georgetown, Texas. Within these roles, Palmer helped craft innovative subscription-based online seminary models, developed curriculum for bachelor’s and master’s level courses, and taught several ministry and theology classes.

Palmer’s background is rooted in the Assemblies of God tradition. He has 18 years of ministerial experience in pastoral care and spiritual leadership to local congregations. He has also done missionary work in over 40 countries.

In addition, he serves as an adjunct professor for the Moody Bible Institute’s Theological Seminary in Chicago, Illinois.

Palmer is currently in the final stages of his Ph.D. program in Philosophy and Religion from Bangor University in the United Kingdom. He also has a Master of Theological Studies in Exegetical Theology from Moody Theological Seminary and a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Studies from North Central University in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

It is with a heavy heart we share with you that EU Adjunct Theology Professor Renee Griffith Grantham passed away yesterday afternoon following a tragic cycling accident. It is now more than ever when the EU community is so important, and we encourage you to connect with one another as you process this news. Please join us in praying for Renee’s husband, Mark, and her family and friends today and in the days and weeks ahead.

We are the only AG University with an embedded seminary.

We had 50 D.Min. students on AGTS campus recently for classes. There's been great growth in this program and many others! We can't wait to welcome you.
