- Profile
-
The Rev. Dr. Gary Pence began at PLTS directing the continuing education program and inaugurating the Doctor of Ministry program. He taught courses in a variety of disciplines and served as both Academic Dean and Interim President. He is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and taught pastoral care and counseling until his retirement in 2005. Dr. Pence then returned to his first love and began teaching New Testament Greek, a subject he approaches both as an indispensable window into the world of the New Testament and a fascinating exercise that illuminates how we construct our thought across multiple linguistic platforms.
