Dr. Thomas & Ruth Ann Kinchen Education Fund

Dr. Thomas Kinchen spent his life in education. He held two Master’s degrees in Education and a Doctorate in Education. Having served in various leadership roles in education, he became the 6th President of the Florida Baptist Theological College in Graceville in 1990. The school grew beyond expectation to become the Baptist University of Florida.

The love of his life was Ruth Ann. Together, they grew a wonderful family and built a legacy of leadership in education. Through his commitment to missions, his influence in Christian education is felt across the nation and around the globe.

We are grateful for his service to Global Missions 365 as a member of the Board of Directors, and count it an honor to establish the Dr. Thomas and Ruth Ann Kinchen Education Fund.

Established March 21, 2024: "The Board of Directors resolves that the Dr. Thomas and Mrs. Ruth Ann Kinchen Education Fund be established to support GM365's global efforts to advance primary, secondary, and higher educational opportunities. This new donor-designated fund within GM365's chart of accounts will receive and dispense money only for this purpose."

Your contribution to this fund will be much appreciated and used for the express purpose established.
