Mid-America has announced that our Alumnus of the Year for 2024 is Dr. Brad Whitt. A 2001 MDIV graduate at Mid-America, Dr. Whitt serves as the Pastor of Abilene Baptist Church in Augusta, Georgia.

One of the nation’s leading experts on the legacy and ministry of Dr. Adrian Rogers, Dr. Whitt is also one of our featured guest speakers at Mid-America’s annual Adrian Rogers Preaching Conference and Founders’ Days, August 19–22, 2024.

Dr. Whitt and his wife, Kim, are blessed to be the parents of Laura Kate, Jack, Benjamin, and Jonathan.

In his own words, Dr. Whitt describes his approach to ministry:

“I’m honored to pastor the historic Abilene Baptist Church in Augusta, GA, founded in 1774. I desire to lead Abilene Baptist Church to be a regional church that reaches the CSRA (Central Savannah River Area) with the gospel of Jesus Christ and equip and encourage pastors and churches around the world for the glory of God. I believe this is most effectively done through Spirit-filled expositional preaching, investing my life in others through personal mentoring, and the practical sharing of Jesus with those around me. In my more than 20 years in pastoral ministry, I have sought to model this Biblical method of disciple-making and church development in the United States as a local church pastor and in churches and communities in Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.

As a lifelong learner, I have earned an undergraduate degree and two advanced degrees. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with majors in both History and Religion, with a minor in Political Science from Union University in Jackson, TN. 2001 I earned a Master of Divinity from the Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary in Cordova, TN. 2008 I received a Doctor of Ministry in Expository Preaching from the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC. In 2022, I earned a Doctor of Philosophy in Text-Driven Preaching from the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, TX.

In my ministry, I have been privileged to serve on various denominational committees and boards and as an officer in associational, state, and national conventions. In 2010, I served as the President of the South Carolina Baptist Convention’s Pastors’ Conference. This position gave me a unique and humbling opportunity to mentor, assist and serve pastors from across South Carolina. I’m currently a member of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board’s Executive Committee.”

Congratulations to Dr. Whitt, Mid-America’s Alumnus of the Year 2024. To learn more about his ministry, visit his website at bradwhitt.com.
