Meet the Faculty

Donald B. Deel, Ph.D. Candidate Pastoral Counseling, Doctor of Ministry. I teach Religious Studies at MSU, and am the Director of Missions for the Mountain State Baptist Associate. I have written twenty-seven books and manuals, including bible study manuals, self-study manuals, and church and pastoral manuals related to religious studies. I teach many seminars in addition to my instruction at MSU. My goals are to continue in the mission field as a director, and in the academic field as a learner.

Ryan P. Snuffer, Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry in Apologetics. I teach philosophy and religious studies at MSU. I have written several books including Love your Neighbor "Thinking Wisely About Right and Wrong" (Crossway Books, 2007), and write articles for Catapult Magazine. I am a member of the International Society for Christian Apologetics. I am currently doing research on ecology and biomedical ethics. I enjoy reading, writing, and spending time outdoors. My website is www.questionreality.org.

“My philosophy of life is to pursue the truth wherever it takes me or however it changes me.”
