Walter Augustine

Dr. Augustine is the Director Intercultural Education and Research in the Division of Diversity & Inclusion at Biola University, and an Adjunct Lecturer in Theology & Ethics at Talbot School of Theology. Walter’s passion is holistically discipling and developing the people of God to maturity in their relationship with Christ and their ministry for Christ.

Walter graduated from Howard University in May 1991with a Bachelors in Accounting.  It was during the rest of that summer, as he participated in a short-term Inner-City Summer Missions Project with Campus Crusade for Christ, that his ministry passions began to crystallize.  Living and ministering with an extremely diverse group of students during that summer, he experienced what it looks like when members of the Body of Christ each contribute their unique gifts, talents, skills and backgrounds for the development of one another and for the benefit of those to whom they minister.

A native of Chicago, he is also an ordained Baptist minister who served as the Pastor of Discipleship at Merrill Avenue Baptist Church on the South Side of Chicago; and as Assistant Pastor at New Vision Ministries - a church plant in Fort Worth, Texas. He and his wife, Dr. Charlotte Augustine, have been married for twenty-four years.
