Dr. David Shumate

Dr. David Shumate came to know the Lord while in Harvard Law School through the witness of a Christian classmate. He felt the call to full-time ministry and, after finishing his law degree, he attended Bob Jones University, earning his M.Div. and Ph.D. degrees and teaching in their School of Religion and Seminary for five years. After 15 years of assistant pastoral experience, he became the general director of Mexican Gospel Mission in 2005 where he served for 17 years. Since 2012 he has ministered at International Baptist College and Seminary (IBCS) in various capacities, including adjunct faculty and Seminary Dean. Currently, he draws on this experience while serving as the Academic Dean for both the undergraduate and graduate programs at IBCS.
