Sydney Gibbons is a pastor, educator, author, administrator, husband and father of three adult children. His 35 years of professional service has permitted him to reside in Bermuda, Cameroon, Togo, Jamaica and the United States of America. He holds three academic degrees in theology, including the Doctor of Ministry degree and courses toward the Ph. D. degree in New Testament Studies. His doctor of ministry project (1992) was the design and implementation of a course to train laypersons in the art of evangelistic preaching. Since Dr. Gibbons and his family embrace the world view of serving humanity and reaching all nations for Christ, they became foreign missionaries. They were employed by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists as missionaries in Cameroon and Jamaica. He held positions as Church Ministries Director for the Central African Union Mission, President of the West Cameroon Mission, and Associate Professor at the Northern Caribbean University in Jamaica. He also taught college courses in Cameroon. In Bermuda he served as pastor of several churches and directed various ministries for the Bermuda Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Dr. Gibbons is the Executive Secretary of the Bermuda Conference, pastor of the Southampton Church and director of Human Relations and Intercultural Ministries for the Conference. In addition to church leadership he was a consultant to the National Training Board of the Government of Bermuda (2005-2006), and the Executive Officer for the Government of Bermuda (2007-2010) in the Department of Human Affairs, where he directed the former "Commission for Unity and Racial Equality" as its chief technical advisor. Dr. Gibbons has a passion for evangelism and education. He has conducted evangelistic meetings in Bermuda, Bahamas, Jamaica, The United States of America, Canada and Africa. He is publishing two books on evangelism. The first, to be published in 2014, discusses the art of evangelistic preaching and the second, to be published in 2015, is a syllabus for the School of Evangelism. He also published a book on ordination to ministry, in 2013. The title of the book is Ordained Pastor: Wife of One Husband? Biblical Perspectives on Ordination Revisited. His mission for life is "Learning! Growing! Ministering for Christ!" His vision is "Happy people! Working together! Living in peace!" Dr. Gibbons believes that Jesus is coming soon and dedicates his life to preparing people for that event.
