Jacumin-Simpson Missions Center (Wake Forest, North Carolina)

 Baptist church, department of theology, theology

The Jacumin-Simpson Missions Center was dedicated in October 2001, almost two thousand years after Christ issued The Great Commission. This building houses the Lewis A. Drummond Center for Great Commission Studies, a 111-seat auditorium equipped with world-wide conferencing technology, and fourteen faculty offices. The center serves as the headquarters for Southeastern´s mission effort. The light that shines forth from the cupola at night is a symbol of the light of the gospel penetrating the darkness of the world. The building is named in honor of Jim and Nancy Nell Jacumin of Icard, North Carolina, for their generous support of the project and the seminary. It is also named in honor of the Jacumin´s parents, Emile and Mamie Jacumin, and Roy and Muriel Simpson. The Jacumins´ commitment to reach the world with the gospel has been influenced through the years by their parents´ love and support for missions.
