Woodrow Michael Kroll (October 21, 1944 – ) is an American preacher, radio host, and educator whose 50-year ministry has focused on combating Bible illiteracy through teaching and media outreach. Born in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, to Reverend Frank Kroll, a pastor at Park Gate Baptist Church for 33 years, and Betty Kroll, he grew up steeped in faith. Kroll followed his father’s path, attending Practical Bible Training School (now Davis College) from 1962 to 1965, then earning a B.A. from Barrington College (1967), an M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (1970), and Th.M. and Th.D. degrees from Geneva-St. Albans Theological Seminary, with postgraduate studies at Harvard, Princeton, Virginia, and Strasbourg universities. Married to Linda Piper since 1965, they have four children—Tracy, Timothy, Tina, and Tiffany—and 16 grandchildren. Kroll’s preaching career began as pastor of First Baptist Church in Middleboro, Massachusetts (1968–1970), followed by teaching at Practical Bible Training School (1971–1973) and chairing Liberty University’s Division of Religion (1975–1980). He served as president of Practical Bible Training School (1981–1990), securing its accreditation and renaming it Davis College. From 1990 to 2013, he led Back to the Bible as President and Senior Bible Teacher, reaching 10 million daily listeners on 1,250 stations worldwide with expository preaching rooted in evangelical conviction. After retiring, he founded Woodrow Kroll Ministries in 2014, launching The HELIOS Projects—audio teachings like “Talking Thru the Christian Faith” (199 sessions)—to equip untrained pastors globally.
