J R Faulkner

June 11, 2009 By Austin Gardner 2 Comments

Though most of you will not know him here at Vision. A great servant of the Lord has gone on to Heaven. If the Lord tarries His coming and I reach an old age I would like to go out like him.

J. R. Faulkner was born June 8, 1914, in Charlotte, North Carolina. He trusted the Lord as his personal Saviour on December 3, 1937.

In 1941, he enrolled at Bob Jones College, Cleveland, Tennessee. He graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in Bible in 1946.

In 1943 he married Magdalene Amstutz. The Faulkners have five sons — all graduates of Tennessee Temple University.

Dr. Lee Roberson, founder of Tennessee Temple University writes: “He was first a teacher at T.T.U., later vice president for 22 years; and in 1974 he became president. In the many years of my work, I have found no one to equal Dr. Faulkner in fruitfulness, purity of life, and dedication to the cause of Christ. As a multi-talented man, he performed every task with precision, enthusiasm, zeal, and spiritual power. As a songleader, artist, administrator, preacher or soulwinner, he worked with an unquestioned whole-heartedness. We continue to walk together in the work of our Saviour!!”

Faulkner served as pastor of South Rossville Baptist Church, Rossville, Georgia, from 1945 – 1949, when he accepted the Associate Pastor position at Highland Park Baptist Church, Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Two colleges have honored J. R. Faulkner with honorary degrees. He received an honorary (L.L.D.) from Bob Jones University in 1954; Trinity Baptist College, Jacksonville, Florida, honored him with a (D.D.) in 1993.

J. R. Faulkner retired in 1990, then served as Interim Pastor of Highland Park Baptist Church until 1991.

    I personally never met or even remember seeing Dr. Faulkner but I love the way he loves his wife in this video. Betty and I have only been married just under 36 years but I love it when I see a man so clearly love his wife.

    I challenge all of our people at Vision to work at loving your spouse. I want to get old with this sweetness

    I had the pleasure to sit under Dr Faulkner as a student and then after graduation in 1985, the pleasure to server with him as TTU staff. Dr Faulkner always treated me with dignity and respect and never spoke anything but kind words of encouragement. I will always have fond memories of Dr Faulkner.
