George Walker Redding Faculty Award

George Walker Redding was the pastor, teacher, mentor, guide, and conscience for generations of young Christians. Bible professor at Georgetown College for 30 years, he was the standard for instruction for many students in the classroom, in the pulpit, and in his life. A 1927 alumnus, Dr. Redding’s calling to teach served as the model for faculty at his alma mater and, in retirement, at three other Kentucky Baptist schools.
