Ron Sisk
Academic Vice President and Dean


I was 'called out' to the ministry by an elderly saint of our church when I was fifteen, with the words “God has something for you to do!”  It was another decade though before I was exposed to enough positive ministerial role models to see ministry as a possibility for myself.  

I thought I would be a college history teacher, and I actually spent two years in the classroom before I came to grips with God’s call to teach people how to live well.  A child of the sixties, I first interpreted that call as a call to teach Christian ethics, but I soon developed a real love for helping people in the day-to-day stresses of life—for preaching and teaching in the church. 

 I’ve served as an ordained Baptist minister for twenty-five years, as a youth minister, and then as pastor of four churches in Kentucky, California, and Texas.
