Alumni Around the World
Hear from our alumni serving the Lord all over the world.
Beeson’s alumni are our greatest advertisement. We are so proud of all they do to advance God’s Kingdom throughout the world. Our alumni serve in a number of ways, from church ministry to missionary efforts to nonprofit work. Hear from them as they share what makes Beeson so special to them and how Beeson prepared them for ministry.
“Beeson played a significant role in discerning my call and served as the foundation for my call theologically. It gave me the foundation I needed to go and do ministry in a variety of locations afterward."
— Suzanne Simmons ’08, MDiv ‘11
“Beeson gave me the language of faith. It gave me the ability to articulate the faith that I never had before."
— Jason Rice, MDiv ‘23
“All of the professors were so invested in us and showed the deep love for God and God’s Word and God’s people, which impacted me greatly."
— Cecelia Walker, MDiv ‘98
“Beeson prepared us for international ministry by giving us the tools to be lifelong learners. We had no idea that we would become church planters in a post-Christian context while we studied at Beeson, but God did!"“Beeson's emphasis on Scripture, interdenominational dialogue, spiritual formation and community taught us patterns for ministry that we carry with us today. International churches in global cities are full of people from very diverse cultural and theological backgrounds. Beeson taught us how to minister with theological humility and clarity as we point people to Jesus Christ."
— Taylor and Lydia Whitley, MDiv ‘14
“So much of our support network comes from Beeson."“Even our missiology is coming from our time at Beeson, where professors taught us to discern the Scriptures, taught us church history, how to do missiology and how to work with a local church in a different context. If we had not gone to Beeson, I think we would have been a lot less prepared for doing active ministry in a different context."
— Connor and Misty Hopkins, MDiv ‘21
