New Director Appointed to IRBS UK: Enoch Adekoya

The Interim Board of IRBS UK is delighted to announce that Enoch Adekoya, a member of the board for several years, has been appointed Director, beginning Jan/2025.

Enoch served as Pastoral Assistant at St. Giles, Islington, and has been called to pastor Grace Baptist Church, Port Erin. He holds a Master’s in Theology and is currently pursuing a PhD in Political Theology at the University of Manchester, where he has served among the Postgraduate Researchers under the Lincoln Theological Institute. Enoch has been actively engaged with the work at IRBS UK as one of the Interim Board members. He is currently a member of Trinity Grace Church, Ramsbottom. He and his wife, Rosie, are blessed with three daughters.

Alongside distance and legacy courses, IRBS (International Reformed Baptist Seminary) currently offers four in-person courses a year, ranging from the one-year Certificate in Reformed Baptist Studies to the four-year Master of Divinity. Enoch’s appointment will enable IRBS to cultivate the growth of their UK faculty and facilities at their base - Trinity Grace Church in the North West of Manchester.

He says, “It is a delight to formally join IRBS UK as the new Director. Having had the joy of serving on the Interim Board, I have witnessed the seminary meet the increasing demand for training gospel ministers across the nation and beyond. IRBS has been richly blessed with gifted pastor-scholars whose dedication and commitment the Lord has blessed tremendously in recent years. I am deeply honoured and thankful for this call and pray that God makes use of this appointment to further the seminary’s vision: equipping confessionally grounded stewards of the gospel to faithfully labour for the glory of Christ among the churches.”
