Bio
Mark Hopkins, who joined Fuller in 2001, is senior associate professor of leadership and director emeritus, MA in global leadership and doctor of intercultural studies in the School of Mission and Theology. He has a strong desire to see the church more effectively engage contemporary Western culture.
Prior to the roles mentioned above, Dr. Hopkins was administrative director for the Master of Arts in Global Leadership (MAGL), Fuller’s first online degree program, enabling men and women in Christian leadership around the world to stay fully engaged in their ministries while studying primarily online.
A scholar in the areas of leadership, postmodern mission, and missional ecclesiology, Hopkins has taught courses at both Pepperdine University and Fuller, primarily in the areas of leadership and of Christianity and culture. He has also pastored with local congregations for 17 years, ministering in New York, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, and California. In addition, Hopkins participated in three church-planting campaigns—serving as director of one—in Irkutsk, St. Petersburg, and Samara, Russia, during the mid-1990s.
