Mullins graduated from the seminary in 1885, and served churches in Harrodsburg, KY, Baltimore, MD, and Newton Square, MA before returning to lead the seminary. Mullins also served as the president of the SBC from 1921 to 1924, and the president of the Baptist World Alliance. While Mullins served as president of the seminary, he also taught theology, authoring a pivotal textbook, The Christian Religion in Its Doctrinal Expression (1917).
