McCormick Faculty

The McCormick faculty is composed of twenty-one full-time faculty members divided into four fields of study: bible, theology/ethics, history and ministry. In addition to teaching, student advising, governance and participation in McCormick community events, faculty members are active in their academic fields through publishing and professional societies. Faculty members are also active in the life of the church locally, nationally and internationally. The McCormick faculty is intentionally diverse. Its diversity includes gender, ethnicity, national origin, and denomination. Several faculty members speak languages in addition to English. The academic preparation and commitment to excellence, the multilingual capabilities, and the various forms of diversity found in the faculty support both the McCormick student body and the educational mission of the seminary. The McCormick faculty enjoys and fosters an open and collegial spirit. Together faculty members plan and evaluate the overall curriculum of seminary degree programs, community worship, and other activities and events of the seminary. They also work together to monitor and assess student performance and progress. In addition, faculty members seek ways in which to work together in and outside the classroom, often teaching across disciplines, learning from each other as they teach and learn from the students.
