Faculty call to CLTS accepted

Rev. Radford is expected to begin teaching in the 2024-25 academic year. The delay will allow Rev. Radford time to pursue additional studies in historical theology before entering his new position. This summer he began classes in the Master of Sacred Theology program at Concordia Theological Seminary (Fort Wayne, Indiana).

“By extending a call, the seminary is expressing a commitment to support him along this route,” CLTS notes in a release. “He brings to the seminary faculty considerable church experience, pastoral wisdom, theological acumen, and administrative ability.”

Prior to entering seminary, Rev. Radford held a number of positions in business administration, including founding his own management firm.
