Founders Seminary Names Tom Ascol To Acting President Following Voddie Baucham’s Death

The Board of Directors of Founders Seminary has appointed Pastor Tom Ascol to be the new Acting President of the seminary, following the untimely death of Founding President Voddie Baucham several weeks ago. According to a press release:

Dr. Ascol, a close friend of Dr. Baucham, will carry out the presidential responsibilities for the seminary and will also continue in his role as its Chancellor and President of Founders Ministries.

Founders Seminary remains steadfast in its purpose to train men for ministry with sharp minds, warm hearts, and steel spines. This appointment reflects the Board of Directors’ confidence in Dr. Ascol’s leadership and commitment to the mission of Founders Seminary.

Founders Ministries launched Founders Seminary earlier this year– whose mission is to “serve the Triune God of the Holy Scriptures by equipping godly men with the education, aptitude, character, and conviction requisite for effective leadership in the local church.”

Located on the campus of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, FL, the founding faculty included Dr. Voddie Baucham, who recently moved from Zambia to help start the seminary, along with Dr. Tom Ascol and Dr. Tom Nettles. The residential faculty includes Dr. Conrad Mbewe, Travis Allen, Dr. Peter Sammons, and Dr. Scott Callaham.

In terms of distinctives, the seminary closely partners with approved local churches so that students can receive personalized mentorship under the supervision of a pastor/elder. Here, the mentors will “nurture and direct students in learning to shepherd God’s people.”

Offering a 4-year Master of Divinity and seeing a value in not “burdening our students with tremendous debt that can cripple young families and prospective churches,” Founders Seminary is heavily subsidized by the support of donors, with the aim of being one of the most affordable seminaries in America.

As a result, classes cost around $7500 a year, or $30k over four years, not including housing costs and other miscellaneous fees.  

The seminary is presently raising $1.5M dollars to purchase their building, and interested parties who are looking to help can do so at their website.
