BTSR is striding into
adulthood with confidence
and excitement. While we
cherish the joyful memory
of childhood and the selfdiscovery of adolescence,
BTSR is demonstrating its
maturity in a number of
significant ways.
You hold in your hand BTSR’s first
Annual Report. In our history, we have
provided information about BTSR in a
variety of ways. Now, we are doing what
adult organizations do, by providing
an all-encompassing Annual Report. I
encourage you to put this on a book shelf.
You may want to compare the one next
year (2017) to the one we are providing
now (2016). Adult organizations are into
mapping yearly successes and growth.
“The transition in the
President’s Office at
BTSR is also a clear
example of how adult
organizations work.”
As you may know, I announced my
retirement in March, effective June 30,
2017. The transition in the President’s
Office at BTSR is also a clear example of
how adult organizations work. I didn’t
just announce one day, “I’m done!” No
less than four trustee level committees
were created to negotiate, plan and
implement a smooth and healthy
transition in the President’s Office.
The official date of my retirement
was a collaborative decision partly
based on the best timing for the
school. Most of my work these days
is focused on making preparations
for the new president’s arrival. Adult
organizations do transitions well.
“Adult organizations
make a healthy way
forward regardless
of the environmental
context.”
Adult
organizations
make
a
healthy way forward regardless
of
the
environmental
context.
Young organizations spend a lot
of time reacting and adjusting to
circumstances beyond their control.
Adult organizations map out a future
and work to turn dreams into reality.
I am not suggesting the future will be
easy or simple.
I am not suggesting BTSR will ever
lose her rambunctious, edgy spirit. I
am simply saying, we are twenty-five
and moving forward with confidence.
Thanks be to God!
Ronald W. Crawford | President
ADVANCEMENT REPORT
First Things First
Since I returned to BTSR in September 2015, I’ve been doing a good amount of listening
and learning from alumni and friends of the seminary. They tell me things like, “we love the
seminary” and “we need BTSR.” Reflecting on BTSR’s 25th Anniversary, these alumni and
friends recall how BTSR has remained a pioneer in theological education, and a place of many
“firsts.” With a renewed sense of pride, they recall how BTSR was the…
First seminary to require courses in Spirituality
First seminary to require a Global Mission Immersion
First seminary to uniquely equip both women and men for
congregational ministry within our Baptist family.
As we journey onward into a new chapter for the seminary and the church, BTSR alumni and
friends remind me of the importance of keeping “first things first.” It is with a renewed spirit
of hope and collaboration that we are delighted to share this BTSR Annual Report with you in
celebration of a new season of “firsts.”
Looking back, the BTSR Annual Report reflects the generosity of individuals, churches,
denominational and ministry partners who have offered their first fruits to support our work
together. Thank you for your support, and for your investment in the seminary!
Looking forward, BTSR celebrates the steady leadership of Dr. Ron Crawford as he concludes
his tenure as President in July 2017. Please pray for BTSR as we prepare to welcome a new
President who will be surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, empowered to continue
the good work.
As we enter a new season, BTSR promises to keep first
things first. Even as our world rapidly changes, BTSR
remains committed to our mission: to prepare ministry
leaders for the 21st century. We do so as co-laborers, with
you and your church, for the sake of God’s Kingdom.
