Besides being an associate professor and the director of the
Masters in Evangelism degree, Rick is also the Associate National
Director for Evangelism with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.
Rich has been in campus ministry for 20 years, regularly speaking
and ministering as an evangelist on campuses in many different
parts of the country. Rick is an ordained Anglican priest and
served for three years as Pastor of Evangelism and Small Groups
for Church of the Resurrection in Wheaton, Illinois, a church
known for its healing prayer ministry. Rick received his M.Div.
from Northern Baptist Seminary, studying with Ray Bakke, focusing
his studies in evangelism and urban ministry.
Rick seeks to bring together his passions for evangelism, prayer
and racial reconcilation in order to cast vision and equip an
emerging postmodern generation in ministry for the sake of the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
Rick also enjoys fly fishing, hiking in the Colorodo mountains,
and reading fantasy literature. His secret ambition is to write
a science fiction/fanatsy novel.
