Alumni Spotlight: Phil Thompson

"My MDiv from CIU has equipped me to engage meaningfully in discussions and theological grounding for the projects as a whole."
Phil heads up online theological learning initiatives for The Gospel Coalition. In November of 2017, TGC launched TGC Courses, a free and open Christian learning site. Since the time of its launch, the ministry has seen over a quarter million learners access courses over one million times. Phil also directs another effort that rolled out Fall 2019. TGN provides a series of 250 free theological essays on our site which will then be translated into several other key languages. Over the next five years, they are working to develop a core "pastor's bookshelf" of free resources in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Mandarin, Korean, Russian, and Arabic.

Phil also serves as a resident at his church, The Church at Cherrydale, in Greenville, SC.
While much of his work is in managing projects, Phil interfaces regularly with pastors and academics as they work to provide resources to the global church.
