Dr. Mark Bailey

 

Dr. Mark Bailey was named as the fifth president of Dallas Theological Seminary in 2001, after serving in various roles at the school over the past 20 years. 

Dr. Bailey received his Bachelor of Arts from Southwestern College in Phoenix, Arizona in 1972; his Master of Divinity and Master of Theology from Western Conservative Baptist Seminary in Portland, Oregon in 1975 and 1977, respectively; and his Doctor of Philosophy in Bible Exposition from Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas in 1997.

For over 25 years, his career passions have been theological education and pastoral ministry. In addition to his time at Dallas Seminary, he has ministered at Southwestern College (Arizona), Palmcroft Baptist Church (Arizona), Community Bible Church (Texas), and Faith Bible Church (Texas). He has also led numerous tours to Israel and the Middle East and has authored such recent texts as To Follow Him: The Seven Marks of a Disciple and Nelson’s New Testament Survey.

 

Dr. Bailey and his wife, Barby, have been married for over 30 years. They have two sons: Joshua (wife Emily), and Jeremy, and one granddaughter, Fiona. Through all, his vision for family and faith is clear: “to lead people to a love for God through the study of His Word. This guides my life, family, involvement at church, and ministry to Dallas Seminary.”
