The John Newport Foundation

A Resource
The mission of the Newport Foundation is to be a resource for Christian education and leadership as reflected in the life, writings, and teachings of the late John P. Newport.

An Approach
Dr. Newport was a brilliant philosopher, theologian and educator. He had unusual abilities as a synthesizer and reconciler. One of his greatest contributions to biblical philosophy and theology was his style of bringing together diverse strands of knowledge and perspectives from various intellectual disciplines into a consistent worldview. The Newport Foundation seeks to continue this needed approach.

A Commitment
By developing a wide range of print, audio / video materials, Internet-based resources and the John P. Newport Chair of Christian philosophy at the George W. Truett Theological Seminary, the Foundation demonstrates its commitment to quality Christian ministry and lay leadership that reflect the worldview seen in the life and works of Dr. Newport.

A Conference
The Foundation also hosts national and regional conferences and seminars for ministers, professors, academicians, teachers, students and Christian laity. One of the Foundation’s most important activities is its annual National Leadership Conference and Newport Awards Banquet.
