Central Baptist College has promoted Duffy Guyton to vice president for advancement. The move was effective July 1.

Guyton will lead the college’s advancement operations, including fundraising, church relations and donor engagement. He brings to the position a diverse background in development, ministry, and higher education leadership.

“I am excited to appoint Duffy to this key leadership position,” said CBC President Jeremy Langley. “He is widely respected on the CBC campus and among the churches of the Baptist Missionary Association. His dedication to Christ-centered education and his ability to connect with donors, churches and alumni make him uniquely qualified to help advance our mission.”

I am passionate about leading others in the area of biblical generosity, grounded in respect, honor, and through a heart of shepherding.”
