Faculty & Staff Directory

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.  That is, they prioritize our student’s intellectual, communal, moral, and spiritual good.  Asbury is special because our people are special.
Dr. Kevin Brown President
