WEST has announced the appointment of Dr. Michael Reeves to the full-time faculty from September 2013.
As Theologian-at-Large, Mike will spearhead a major new initiative to make theology more accessible to all. This innovative project will put quality theological education within the financial and geographical reach of all who need it.
Dr. Reeves will also help determine the school’s strategic development and act as an ambassador, representing WEST’s vision globally at conferences, etc. He will teach at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels on WEST’s Bryntirion campus, and will soon be available to supervise PhD candidates and will continue to develop his own research interests.
Mike was Head of Theology for UCCF, providing theological fuel for student mission and supporting undergraduates studying theology. Before that he was an associate minister at All Souls Church, Langham Place, in London.
Bursary beneficiaries
WEST and the FIEC have launched an Independent Ministry Training Award, a bursary which provides two fully funded places at WEST College. Peter Honeywood has been a ministry trainee at his home church, Mickfield Evangelical, in Needham Market, Suffolk, while working in the music industry. Both Above Bar, Southampton, and Richard Baxter’s current church, Carey Baptist, Reading, have played a significant part in preparing him for this next step of ministry training.
This bursary provision has been made possible through the generous support of a Christian businessman who has a heart to see WEST and FIEC flourish.
