Denver Seminary

Professor, Columbia Biblical Seminary and School of Missions, Columbia, SC., M.Div. '80.

When he was 16, Dr. Bryan Beyer (M.Div. ’80) sensed God confirming that he should pursue church-related ministry. He has done just that! Bryan currently teaches Old Testament and Semitic languages at Columbia Biblical Seminary and School of Missions in Columbia, S.C. Since completing his Ph.D. in 1985, he has served at Columbia in many different capacities, including teaching at the undergraduate level, serving as assistant dean and dean of the Bible College, and as dean of students. “It’s been wonderful to see God’s timing in each step,” Brian said, “but I really feel I’ve ‘come home’ by going back to teaching.” One of the Seminary experiences that changed Brian’s life was his mentoring
relationships with his professors. His desire to make a similar impact on his students is what gets him up in the morning. His advice to current students? “Get to know the faculty. Take them up on opportunities to get to know them better – grading for them, going to their homes, or working in small groups with them.”
