I am very excited to teach theology at New College because I am convinced that the knowledge of God is eternal life. I look forward to sitting at the feet of Jesus in His word and learning from His work in the church. My prayer is that we will fellowship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and learn to live unto God.

 “I am delighted to have the opportunity to teach music at New College Franklin. Having taught in Christian higher education for over twenty years, I believe that it is essential to equip students to pursue wisdom from a biblical perspective. I was drawn to NCF for this reason and am excited to work with students who are dedicated to a life of service to God.”

Mr. Lubben serves as an Adjunct Fellow at New College Franklin, teaching New Testament Greek.  He received his Bachelor of Science degree with a focus in Chemistry from Trevecca Nazarene University and holds a Master of Divinity with a focus in Biblical Languages from Liberty University.  

Elijah loves learning and teaching just about anything, but his favorite subjects are languages, theology, and music theory. Elijah loves to read good books to his three wonderful children and play piano while singing hymns with his family.  

Previously Elijah and his wife, Ashlee, served as missionaries working in Japan. Missions is still an essential part of his life, and he looks forward to working with students at New College Franklin to equip them to go into the world praising God’s glory and announcing Christ’s lordship over every square inch.
