Dr. Dwight Perry

Dean of Faculty/ Professor of Homiletics & Leadership. North Park Theological Seminary, Chicago, Illinois.

Both scholar and practitioner, this rare combination fills a need in theological education. Rev. Dr. Perry has been called to “serve in academic leadership within an evangelical seminary that is urban in its context, biblical at its foundation, and seeks to equip men and women for the work of the gospel,” notes Rev. Dr. Perry as his career objective. As the first African-American to graduate with an earned PhD in any discipline from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, IL, Rev. Dr. Perry has persevered across many barriers of race and diversity.

Prior to joining NPTS, Rev. Dr. Perry served as regional president/executive minister of Converge Great Lakes where he was known for his straight-talk approach to ministry. He also served as a professor of pastoral studies at the Moody Bible Institute, as a denominational executive with the Baptist General Conference, and as a senior pastor and associate pastor in several churches in Illinois. He is a sought-after national speaker and is passionate about proclaiming Gods Word. As a pastor and teacher in homiletics, he is one of the premier expository preachers in the U.S.A. He has spoken and consulted with both nonprofits, churches and denominations across the country in the area of diversity and inclusion, homiletics, organizational and systems development especially within a not for profit setting along with strategic planning and leadership development and succession planning. He and His wife are the co-founders of the Becoming One Marriage Seminar.
