New Roles In The ABR Family

Every once in a while, someone associated with the ABR ministry moves into a new role. We want to highlight two such recent changes, where we welcome a familiar face into the ranks of the ABR staff, and a board member taking on new duties.

Dr. Scott Stripling

Scott Stripling has been married to his wife Janet for thirty years, and they have four children—Stacy (27), Tracy (24), Scotty (21), and David (19). Scott teaches Humanities full-time at Wharton County Junior College and has served as a guest lecturer at numerous institutions, including The University of Holy Land Studies at Hebrew University and The Bible Seminary.

Scott has earned two Master’s degrees (English and Biblical Literature) as well as a DMin with an emphasis in Ancient Near Eastern archaeology. He is presently ABD on his PhD from Trinity Southwest University. He pastored for two decades and has written and spoken publicly on a variety of ministry, archaeology , education, and public policy issues.
