Timothy Gaines, PhD
Professor of Theology and Ethics
In my work as a pastor, theologian, ethicist, and faculty administrator at a university, I love to bring the best of academic exploration into vital conversation with the church's life and mission. My personal vision is to bear witness to the gospel by inspiring missional collaboration between the church and university for the life of the world.
​
In addition to teaching courses in theology and ethics, I serve as director of Trevecca's MA in Theology and Biblical Studies and direct the Center for Wesleyan-Holiness Formation.
