• Special Guest: The Reverend Dr. Timothy McNinch

    Sanctuary 321 W South Street, Kalamazoo, MI, United States

    Rev. Dr. Tim McNinch, PhD, is the Asst. Professor of Hebrew Bible at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, where he also directs the Master of Theological Studies (MTS) degree program. He has an online footprint with his popular YouTube channel for learning biblical Hebrew and as one of the founding hosts of the Old Testament Lectionary podcast, “First Reading.” He writes
    regularly for the “Politics of Scripture” blog and for “Working Preacher.” But his greatest claim to fame is that he attended seminary alongside the one and only, Rev. Chrissy Westbury! While Tim's primary
    vocation is as a biblical scholar, he is also an ordained PC(USA) minister. Tim grew up here in Kalamazoo, attended Loy Norris HS and K College, and even served for a number of years as the pastor of the
    Vineyard Church of Kalamazoo before his downward spiral into Presbyterianism.
    He now lives in Indianapolis with his spouse Elisabeth and three children. He can also be spied as a fixture in the Irish traditional music scene, singing and playing guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, tenor banjo, flute, whistle, or concertina at his local pub.
