Dr. Ricardo Brambila (’24) earned his Doctor of Ministry Degree from B.H. Carroll Seminary. Dr. Brambila currently serves as Senior Vice President of Field Operations for Bethany Christian Services and as Lead Pastor of Primera Iglesia Bautista Dallas. For nearly three decades, his vocation has centered on serving children, families, churches, and communities through ministry and nonprofit leadership.

“My time at B. H. Carroll broadened my worldview and strengthened my critical-thinking, theological-reflection, and leadership skills. The program challenged me to examine complex issues through both biblical and practical perspectives and to integrate faith, scholarship, and professional practice thoughtfully. It also equipped me to lead with greater wisdom, cultural awareness, humility, and confidence in both ministry and nonprofit executive leadership.”

Roaring On in Business & Education: Class of 2012-2013 Edition🐯

From the boardroom to the classroom, ETBU alumni are faithfully living out their callings and making an eternal impact.

Billy Baker (’12) is serving as Director of Business Development at Entrusted Contracting, leading with integrity and a heart for people. He credits ETBU with shaping his Christ-centered perspective that enables him to overcome fear, pursue excellence, and find joy in serving others through his work.

Kayla (Collins) Baker (’13) is investing in the next generation as a 1st Grade Teacher at Founders Christian School, where she teaches from a biblical worldview and sees every day as an opportunity to point her students to Christ. She says ETBU equipped her with both the practical skills and spiritual foundation to faithfully serve in the classroom.

Wherever God leads, Tigers continue Roaring On—using their gifts to serve others, honor Christ, and make a difference every day. 💙💛 Once a Tiger, Always a Tiger.
