Meet Our President

Adam W. Greenway

Adam W. Greenway was elected as the ninth president of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary on February 27, 2019.

A Southwesterner himself (M.Div., 2002), Greenway has intentionally built upon the rich legacy handed down to Southwestern Seminary by the hundreds of men and women who’ve served on Seminary Hill over more than one hundred years. 

His vision for Southwestern Seminary is the same as has been in place since the seminary’s founding: dedication to a high view of Scripture, commitment to the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, active pursuit of the Great Commission, and cooperation for the cause of the Gospel.
