Divisions Robert Stanley Folkenberg (January 1, 1941 – December 24, 2015) was an American pastor who served as General Conference president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church from 1990 through to his resignation in 1999.

[2] His move in 1998 to establish a "Board of Ministerial and Theological Education" in every Division of the church was criticised and put on hold.

An expected long tenure as president was cut short by his decision to resign amid allegations of financial impropriety in his personal life.

A Christianity Today article says "During his presidency, Folkenberg, known for a somewhat brusque management style, shook up the denomination, spearheading mass communications initiatives that have led to massive growth in membership".

He died just before his 75th birthday on December 24, 2015, from a recurrence of colon cancer, at his home in Winter Haven, Florida, surrounded by family.
