Meet our Faculty and Staff

Scholars, Teachers, Mentors, and Friends

Meet our faculty — scholars, teachers, mentors and friends.

“Asbury University staff and faculty are some of the most capable and caring individuals I have ever had the privilege to serve with. In addition to their high spiritual temperature, holy imagination, and self-expenditure for the sake of others—they are ‘student centric.’ Asbury is special because our people are special.”
