Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Boyle

Dr. Geoffrey Boyle was called to the faculty in 2022. He earned a BA in history and ancient civilizations and biblical studies at the University of Michigan (2005), an MDiv at CTSFW (2009), and a PhD through Wycliffe and St. Michael’s College at the University of Toronto (2019). His training is in the Old Testament, and he titled his thesis, “The Real Presence of Christ in Scripture: A Sacramental Approach to the Old Testament.”

He was ordained and installed as senior pastor of Grace Lutheran Church and Trinity Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kansas in 2010, where he served until joining CTSFW in 2022. There he helped to found Concordia Academy-Wichita, a classical, liberal arts high school; began a Hispanic ministry, preaching and teaching in Spanish weekly; and served as president of the Eighth Day Institute, a vibrant, ecumenical institution in Wichita.

He has authored articles for Concordia Theological Quarterly, the Journal of Scriptural Reasoning, and Lutheran Theological Review. He is a member of the Society of Biblical Literature and the Society of St. Polycarp and is on the Board of Scholars for the Consortium for Classical Lutheran Education (CCLE). He enjoys travel and teaches around the world, including Argentina, Taiwan, Australia, and the Dominican Republic.

He and his wife, Nicole, are the proud parents of five children, Ana, Claire, Gabriela, Micah, and Brigit.

In the summer of 2023 Dr. Boyle gave a presentation titled “My Kingdom Is Not of This World,” for the Consortium for Classical Lutheran Education. You can find a copy of that presentation here.
