DALLAS — Criswell College President C. Richard Wells began his president’s report at the March 7 trustee meeting with what he called “a sad duty and a happy privilege” of announcing his resignation as president to accept the pastorate of South Canyon Baptist Church in Rapid City, S.D.
In returning to a pastoral role, Wells said, “After 15 months of praying, we became convinced in December that this is indeed what God wanted us to do and have great peace.”
The church extended a call to Wells in February to begin serving in June.
Prior to his presidency at Criswell, Wells served on the founding faculty of Beeson Divinity School at Samford University in Birmingham teaching homiletics and pastoral counseling.
