Today is an exciting day for Bellator Christi Ministries. We at Bellator Christi are proud to announce that we added three new contributors today to the team: Dr. Bruce Price, Tom Knoff, and Dr. Daniel Sloan.
Bruce Price, EdD, PhD Candidate
Dr. Bruce Price is married to Sonya (23 years) and they have five children (Sarah 19, David 19, Daniel 13, Hannah 9, and Isaac 6). Bruce played baseball at the College of Charleston and was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 1998 Amateur MLB Draft. However, Bruce felt God’s calling on his life to ministry instead of the baseball diamond. Bruce served in a couple youth and discipleship ministries before accepting the call of Senior Pastor at Buffalo Baptist Church of Blacksburg, SC. Bruce has served in this position since 2001. With a background in Mathematics and Physics, he entered Seminary with strong interest in Systematic Theology and Apologetics.
Bruce enjoys the interplay between the sciences and theology, especially in the area of Coherence of Christian Theism from a logical and biblical perspective. His greatest joy (apart from his relationship with God through Christ) is his family. The following is Bruce’s educational information: Currently a Ph.D Candidate in Theology and Apologetics (Liberty); EDD, Cognate in Cognitive Theory (2012) Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, NC; MDiv in Theological Studies (2009) Liberty University; MAR in Biblical Studies, (2007) Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, NC; MSS in Mechanics and Physiology, (2004) U.S. Sports Academy, Daphne, AL; BS in Mathematics and Physics, (2001) Limestone University, Gaffney, SC.
