Ross Rhoads with the Lord

Ross Rhoads with the Lord

My brother, friend, and co-founder of Southern Evangelical Seminary went to be with the Lord this morning.  Few men have had a greater impact for Christ in Charlotte, NC and around the country  than Dr. Ross Rhoads.  His lasting legacy includes not only a seminary and the 5,000 plus seat Calvary Church, but he was also the inspiration for a Christian school and for many other Christian ministries in the Charlotte area.  His work with Franklin Graham and Samaritan’s Purse is also world-wide.  I personally will be forever grateful to him for asking me to help him found Southern Evangelical Seminary. He was the first president of SES and it continues as an accredited graduate school that sends out pastors, teachers, and missionaries around the globe.
