Hank Voss serves as Associate Professor of Christian Ministry within the Biblical Studies, Christian Ministries, Intercultural Studies & Philosophy Department at Taylor University. Previously, he held leadership roles including National Director of Church Planting and Senior National Staff with The Urban Ministry Institute during seventeen years of service with World Impact.
His academic credentials include:
- PhD from Wheaton College
- MA in New Testament and Christian Theology from Talbot School of Theology
- BA in Biblical Literature and Christian Education from Taylor University
- Additional studies at The University of Chicago Divinity School, Harvest Language School—Mexico, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, US Center for World Missions, and Jerusalem University College—Israel
Voss specializes in the intersection of theological scholarship and practical ministry, with core research areas encompassing church planting among the poor, ecclesiology, missional theology, priesthood of all believers, and spiritual formation. His work uniquely bridges historical Christian spirituality with contemporary urban ministry challenges, emphasizing theological education for marginalized communities through frameworks like the priesthood of all believers.
His 2013-2023 publications reveal consistent thematic development across spiritual classics, urban church planting, and theological exegesis. Key trajectories include the application of medieval spiritual texts (notably Aelred of Rievaulx) to modern ministry, canonical approaches to ecclesiology, and the integration of grammatical-historical methods with theological interpretation. The Sacred Roots Spiritual Classics series demonstrates his commitment to making historical resources accessible for current practitioners.

Voss currently directs the Lilly Foundation-funded Sacred Roots Thriving in Ministry Project, which supports practitioners through spiritual formation resources and edited classical texts. His prior work with The Urban Ministry Institute established foundational frameworks for training church planters in impoverished urban contexts.
