From the
PRESIDENT
On occasion some words bear repeating. You may judge if the following comments do. These were made at BSKs 10th Anniversary Celebration on August 25, 2012. In 1995 some of us present today participated in conversations to discuss new approaches to theological education in Kentucky and the surrounding region.Some of us in this gathering were original trustees who incorporated Baptist Seminary of Kentucky in 1996. Bob Baker, Ron Higdon, Charles Midkiff and I were among the founding trustees. While the Trustees created a new school formally and legally, most of the practical aspects would be accomplished by the group that was named the Committee for Baptist Seminary of Kentucky. Although committee members served for various lengths of time, all made major contributions of time, energy and thought.We dreamed together, prayed together, ate together, debated together, discerned together, and finally we acted together. Sensing the leadership of Gods Spirit, the Committee undertook a bold venture of faith by announcing in the summer of 2001 that we would launch Baptist Seminary of Kentucky. In August 2002, which represents our founding date, the first class of 14 entering students met at Calvary Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky. Pastor, Dr. Bob Baker, and the congregation of Calvary, graciously hosted BSK and saw that we got off to a good beginning. The core faculty consisted of Dr. Dalen Jackson, Dr. Rick Landon, Dr. Les Hill and Dr. Glenn Hinson. [Dr. Hinson could not attend the celebration because of impending heart bypass surgery; he has recovered well and hopes to team-teach at the end of this semester.] In keeping with the spirit of those pioneering founders who began the good work of Baptist Seminary of Kentucky, we must imagine together the next ten years and beyond.Lets Imagine Together God-called students being formed spiritually for Jesus-like ministryreceiving sufficient scholarships as neededstudying with a committed faculty all provided by the investment of those who are moved by Gods Spirit to continue this imaginative dream. Baptist Seminary of Kentucky exists by the grace of God, the diligent work of our spiritual pioneers, and the various contributions of all of us gathered here. Today we remember together, we celebrate together, and we imagine together. We acknowledge the guidance of God during these first ten years and seek Gods Presence to walk with us in the coming years. Thanks be to God!

Scholarships provide our students with educational opportunities by making financial support available to offset the cost of tuition. This funding is vital in our pursuit of attracting the best and brightest students to BSK.
Seminary of Kentucky encourages personal growth, engages its students in the Kingdom of God, and exalts Jesus as savior of the world. While the BSK faculty is second to none, the teaching clearly emphasizes practical solutions that help students in their specific places of ministry. As a pastor, I find myself using what I have learned, and continue to learn at BSK on a daily basis.
A Lasting Legacy
Sometimes faithfulness comes in small packages and can result in surprising generosity. Such is the case with Dr. Bradford and Catherine Curry. Brad learned about Baptist Seminary of Kentucky just about the time we began in 2002. He and Catherine were great friends of BSK who supported the mission of the Seminary through support and advocacy. As a volunteer, Brad spent much of the last ten years of his life focused on telling the Seminarys story and encouraging support from family and friends. With precise planning, the Currys estate was bequeathed to BSK, a loving and generous gift. Brad Curry died the day after Thanksgiving in 2011 at the age of 92. His wife Catherine had preceded him in death. We are thankful for Catherine and Brad whose ongoing legacy is a witness to their faith in Jesus, their commitment to the church, and their support of preparing ministers of the Gospel through Baptist Seminary of Kentucky. We are delighted to include what members of the family of Catherine and Brad asked that we share in this newsletter. The families of Dr. Bradford and Catherine Curry would like to thank everyone who made a gift to Baptist Seminary of Kentucky in their memory. There is nothing that would have made Brad happier than to know this has been done. Thank you again and may God bless you. The Curry, Hester and Walker families If you are interested in considering the inclusion of BSK in your estate, please contact Dr. Earwood at 859-863-8299 (direct office line) or 859-494-4101 (cell).
The majority of students who choose BSK do so because someone encouraged them. Do you know someone who may be feeling called to ministry? Someone who wants to strengthen their knowledge and skills as a faithful Christian? If so, we ask for your help in identifying these interested students. Encourage someone you know to explore what BSK has to offer. Campus visits are arranged through the Office of Admissions
