The Kearley Resource Center is located in the Harris-Parker building and contains Kearley’s vast library collection.
Beginning in the fall of 2013, the Master of Arts in Biblical Studies degree and all future graduate programs will be administered and overseen by the Kearley Graduate School of Theology.
Dr. G. Scott Gleaves will remain temporarily as the chair of the graduate program and the director of graduate studies.
“The Kearley Graduate School of Theology will seek to excel in biblical scholarship and Christian ministry in order to instill in students a balance between truth and deeds, faith and works, and knowledge an wisdom,” Gleaves said.
