Biblical and Ministry Studies
Preview Day
Dr. Jason Lee has been named the
inaugural Dean for the Cedarville
University School of Biblical and Ministry
Studies, effective August 1, 2013.
Lee comes to Cedarville from
Southwestern BaptistTheological Seminary
in Fort Worth, Texas, where he served as
Professor of Historical Theology and Chair
of the Church History Department. In
addition to Lee’s commitment toCedarville’s
mission and values, his experience in
education and pastoral ministry makes him
an excellent fit for the position, according
to Academic Vice President TomCornman.
Lee will be the first Dean of the School
of Biblical and Ministry Studies, which will
officially transition from a department to a
school this summer. Cedarville currently
has five schools within its academic
structure (Business Administration,
Education, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Biblical
and Ministry Studies).
As Dean, Lee will continue the strong
tradition of rigorous academics in the
School, while also fostering a deeper
sense of community. “Since the School of
Biblical and Ministry Studies has a central
place in life at Cedarville, I hope that I can
serve the entire campus through engaging
and challenging classes and discipling
relationships with students that encourage
collegiality among the University faculty,”
Lee said.
Lee also expressed his excitement for
the University’s bright future, dedication to
Christ-centered learning, and focus on the
inerrancy of Scripture. “I am thrilled to be
part of a campus community that believes
Lee Named Inaugural Dean of the
School of Biblical and Ministry Studies
we best serve our families, churches, and
communities through humble obedience
to God’s purposes,” Lee said. “What a
blessing to be in a place where I will be
around the sharpest minds and hearts that
are surrendered to God.”
Originally from Mobile, Alabama,
Lee holds a Ph.D. from the University
of Aberdeen in Aberdeen, Scotland. Lee
has received numerous scholarships and
research awards throughout his academic
career, and he was also awarded multiple
professional honors, including being named
Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers
in 2007.
Lee plans to relocate to Ohio this
summer along with his wife, Kimberly, and
their five children.
