Dean of Academics

Leadership
Written By AB

Jason Barker, DMin - As the Dean of Academics, Dr. Barker partners with our first-class faculty to ensure Oak Valley College students benefit from high academic standards and a spiritually enriching Christian community. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of West Florida and a Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry in Leadership and Administration from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Prior to joining the team at Oak Valley College, Dr. Barker served in local church and parachurch ministries for twenty years, while also teaching as an adjunct faculty member at several colleges and seminaries. When not working, he can be found reading leadership, theology, and sci-fi/fantasy books or, most likely, hanging out with his wife, Ruthie, and their four children.
