Where Are They Now? @RTSCharlotte Alumnus Blair Smith
As many of you know, last year our beloved Dr. Doug Kelly retired from RTS Charlotte after 33 years as a professor. He is now Professor of Theology Emeritus.
Upon his retirement many of us wondered who would replace Doug (and how that would even be possible!). In particular, we wondered whether this person could share Doug’s expertise in Trinitarian thought during the patristic period.

One of the things we love here at RTS Charlotte is church planting. In fact, we have just launched this fall the new Center for Church Planting on the Charlotte campus. It’s still in its infancy, but you can read the initial announcement here.
On this note, I am pleased that this installment of our Where Are They Now? alumni series features Chad Grindstaff (class of 2005 ). Chad is a church-planter in Cincinnati and is a great example of how our grads are planting new churches all over the country (and the world) .
Here is his interview:
