Bush’s appointment follows a season of record growth for the institute. This year, MTI’s Shelby/Helena extension site saw its highest enrollment to date, reflecting a growing demand for biblically grounded, practical ministry training.
Scott Guffin, executive director of the Christian Ministry department at Samford, said, “I’m excited about Dr. Scott Bush becoming the new director of MTI. Scott has been a longtime leader in the program, and we’re greatly anticipating how he will build on the successes of Dr. Kevin Blackwell’s years of leadership.”
Bush said his goal as director is to continue building on that momentum while strengthening the institute’s connection to local churches.
