About John Ankerberg

John Ankerberg graduated from the University of Illinois, in 1972 with a B.A. He then went on to obtain a Master of Arts in Church History and The History of Christian Thought and a Master of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, in 1973, graduating with high honors. Then, in 1991, Ankerberg received a Doctor of Ministry degree from Luther Rice Seminary. He is married to Darlene and has one daughter, Michelle. He is an ordained Baptist minister and former pastor, but his ministry took on a more widespread approach through the use of media outlets like television and radio. As a member of the Board of Directors of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), Ankerberg was instrumental in developing the EFICOM (The Ethics and Financial Integrity Commission) of NRB. The main purpose of this was to create a set of principles to help ensure the integrity and fiscal soundness of broadcast ministries. He is also a member of the Board of Reference of The Christian Film and Television Commission and was selected to be one of ten TV ministers to testify before the Congressional Sub-Committee regarding financial accountability.

John Ankerberg is the producer and host of the nationally televised program, The John Ankerberg Show. On his show, Ankerberg presents contemporary issues and offers Biblical answers. Originally, this program aired every Sunday night on the Christian Broadcasting Network. When CBN suddenly decided they needed more revenue by offering more commercial time, they canceled a number of Christian programs, including the John Ankerberg Show. This action drastically reduced Ankerberg’s audience, but it also greatly reduced CBN’s support. Now, however, this thirty minute program can be seen in all 50 states via independent stations: the INSP Network, the DAYSTAR Network, the SKY ANGEL Satellite, numerous cable outlets, as well as on the internet. John Ankerberg was awarded “The Television Program Producer of the Year Award,– in 1992, by the National Religious Broadcasters. This award honors the most deserving religious TV program producer in the country. He was also honored with the “Genesis Award,” in 1984, by the Southeastern Chapter of the National Religious Broadcasters “for excellence in concept and production of a Christian TV program and ministry in its beginning years.”
