Speaker
About Mark Minnick
Mark Minnick has served as the senior pastor of Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Greenville, South Carolina, since 1989. He completed both his BA and MA in Bible from BJU as well as his PhD in New Testament Interpretation. While working on his doctorate, he transitioned from pastoring a small church in North Carolina to becoming part-time associate pastor at Mount Calvary Baptist Church. Not long after, he began teaching full-time at BJU, reducing his load when he became the full-time senior pastor at Mount Calvary about five years later.
Mark’s philosophy of ministry places a priority on serious attention to the precise, systematic exposition of the Word of God, coupled with an emphasis on faithful, systematic community evangelism — taking the Word to the world. His passion is to seek and to display the glory of God revealed, through the Bible, in the face of Jesus Christ.
