UM Hires Instructional Faculty Member

The University of Mobile (UM) has named Rev. Joe Lewis Stevens, Jr. as its first instructional faculty member, a new faculty category UM says is designed to bring experienced academics into the classroom to strengthen programs and provide students with expertise grounded in real-world practice. Stevens will serve as instructor of Bible exposition at the Baptist university. He will continue his current role as pastor-teacher at Redeemer Fellowship in Saraland and as a hospice chaplain in Atmore. He has taught at UM since 2021. “We are excited to add Joe Stevens to our faculty,” said Jason K. Lee, UM provost. “He can leverage his ministry experience as a church planter, pastor and hospice chaplain to train our students for a variety of ministry contexts.” Stevens is a fellow with the Center for Pastor Theologians and is due to complete his PhD in Bible exposition in the spring of 2027 at Liberty University.
