Welcome!

Greetings, and welcome to my website! This site is set up primarily as a resource page for my students, but it is also a brief introduction to myself and my family. Please browse around, but keep in mind this site is only a few weeks old, so some of the links are barren.

Brief Biography

I was born in Thousand Oaks, CA, and raised in Fresno, CA. After graduating High School (Bullard High, 1994), I lived 2 years in Chula Vista, CA, which is just south of San Diego—one of my favorite cities in America (Prague and Cambridge being among my favorites in the world). In Chula Vista, I attended Southwestern College where I was majoring in pretty much nothing except Baseball. “Life is Baseball, everything else is just details.” This was not only the imprint of a tee-shirt that I often wore, but it was the motto of my life. It was during this time that I was faced with a dilemma. I was calling myself a “Christian,” like most Americans, yet my life looked nothing like Christ. Long story short, I came back to Fresno, leaving my friends, school, baseball team, and the sunny beaches of San Diego (and that one really hurt!), to return to Fresno and to learn to know God—“or rather be known by God” (Gal 4:9).

After spending a year in Fresno, hanging out with some good brothers and sisters in Christ at Riverpark Community Church, I went back down to So-Cal (that’s Southern California for you non-Cali folks) to attend The Master’s College. I majored in Biblical Studies for two years and spent my last semester (Fall 99) in Israel studying biblical geography, history, and archaeology. Indeed, this semester in Israel was one of the highlights of my life (apart from getting married, of course!).

In Spring 2000, I attended The Master’s Seminary for the next 3 ½ years, receiving my MDiv in May 2003. Along the way, I received the greatest treasure of my life, apart from Christ—that is, Chris, my beautiful and energetic wife (for proof of the ‘beauty’, please see the pics on this site; for proof of the ‘energy’, please stop by our place in Ohio). I can’t imagine my life without her.

After graduating Seminary (May 2003), we had our first child (Kaylea, now 4 1/2 ), went to Scotland for my Ph.D. (Aberdeen University), had a couple more kids—girls, of course (Aubrey Kate, now 2 ½ and Josie, now 10 months)—and took at job teaching Biblical Studies (mostly OT, and some Theology) at Cedarville University in Cedarville, OH (that’s Ohio, which is a state on the eastern end of the Midwest, for you Californian folks).

And now I have a website. Please be patient with this site (“…my name is Preston Sprinkle and I am computer illiterate…”), it’s under construction and I’ll be adding to it from time to time. In the meantime, send me an email if you want to say ‘hi’ (prestonsprinkle@cedarville.edu).
