The Global Center
Welcome
Welcome to the Global Center page of the Beeson website. Please take a moment to explore all that the Global Center at Beeson Divinity School offers.
We are thankful for Ralph Waldo Beeson’s generous gift which allows divinity students and the Birmingham community to better understand and participate in global Christianity. World missions and evangelization were of the heart of Ralph Waldo Beeson's concern. His generosity made possible a divinity school charged to develop quality theological education in a Christian university setting from an evangelical perspective and a global center that brings together information, people, and purposes of a missionary God.
In rhythm with the heartbeat of our missionary God and the charge of its benefactor, the Global Center of Beeson Divinity School seeks to build awareness of the global Christian cause and community by sending equipped Beeson students into every part of the world and inviting the world into the Beeson and Birmingham communities. In this website, you will find some of the ways which help to accomplish the Global Center’s goal of better knowing and reaching our world.
You are welcome to drop by the Global Center Resource Room, and visit our exhibition area and our prayer room. For those Beeson students exploring the possibility of serving Christ internationally, please come by and talk with us.
Sincerely,
Kurt D. Selles
Director, Global Center
