State Command Chaplain builds a life of service on a biblical foundation from WBS

COL. CREGG PUCKETT (M.DIV. '98)
|
|
Chaplain (Colonel) Cregg M. Puckett is the state command chaplain in the Mississippi Army National Guard with 35 years of active military service and over 20 years of service as a local church pastor.
Cregg Puckett came to Wesley Biblical Seminary with a strong spiritual foundation, growing up in church and attending Wesley College. WBS made sense to him as a place to continue his studies for ministry because of its strong stance on biblical authority and inerrancy. “That’s the camp I belong to,” he explains. “The Bible is the foundation for everything.”

The Steadfast Campaign is a three-year initiative to build on the generosity of our many donors to ensure a sustainable future amidst our fast-changing culture. $2.6 million has already been pledged by leading donors, or 64% of our $4.17 million goal. Already this year, those gifts have resulted in $150,000 in immediate impact through scholarships to students who would not otherwise have received them. Please pray with us that God will continue to connect us with donors who believe in our mission to develop trusted leaders for faithful churches.
