DR. ELIZABETH B. LAURENT
FOR HIS GLORY, INC. SECRETARY/BOARD OF DIRECTORS, PAST PRESIDENT FHGBC
Dr. Beth Laurent faithfully served as President of For His Glory Bible College from 2006 until her retirement on December 31, 2017 (pictured left). She is an ordained minister, counselor and teacher of the Word of God with a love for the nations and a heart for taking His Word into all the world. Her secular background in social work and administration were combined by God with her solid biblical foundation and doctoral degree in theology to bring forth His purposes in a ministry that would equip and benefit others and glorify His name.
Her years at FHGBC began in 2000 as an intern and later as an instructor and College Registrar before she became the second president of the college in 2006. Under Dr. Beth’s leadership, the Department of Biblical Counseling was established at the college and the prison outreach ministry grew extensively. She continues to serve at FHGM&BC and is Secretary of the Board of Directors.
Dr. Laurent ministers on the pastoral staff of Poplar Creek Church as Discipleship Pastor and the Director of Poplar Creek Church Institute. Her love for teaching God’s Word continues to bless and encourage believers at the church, at FHGBC, and even into the nations of Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Kenya, and Zambia.
