It is an analysis centred on (1) the development of QBCM’s overall educational standards and credibility under Nickerson’s tenure, (2) Nickerson’s interaction with theological developments at QBCM and throughout the Queensland Baptist movement, as well as (3) consideration of any criticisms of Nickerson or QBCM during Nickerson’s Principalship. Finally, (4) we will explore what characterized the ensuing generation of QBCM graduates during Nickerson’s era as QBCM Principal, homing in on personal and ministry practices which may be attributed to him, as well as exploring his wider influence on the Queensland denomination. We discover in Nickerson a leader who helped steer the College educationally, wisely hiring and enabling faculty, consolidating accreditation standards and encouraging practical ministry developments. The theological climate at QBCM remained conservative under Nickerson, yet with a more ‘open evangelical,’ educationally progressive accent. Though not in the classical mould of the strong, decisive leader, ultimately Nickerson’s track-record and tenacity offset this from being a hindrance. The stability and growth of QBCM under Nickerson was a boon to the denomination, with many graduating ministers viewing the OT through a new lens as a result of Nickerson’s gift for teaching and preaching.
