The President serves as CEO and academic leader, overseeing strategic vision, academic excellence, administration, community engagement, and spiritual leadership.
The role of the President of the College is pivotal in steering the institution towards achieving its mission of providing exemplary theological education and fostering spiritual formation. As the chief executive officer and academic leader, the President is tasked with several critical responsibilities that collectively contribute to the institution's growth and integrity.
Strategic leadership formation is foundational to this role, requiring the President to develop and implement comprehensive plans that align with the Seminary's mission. This includes providing visionary leadership that promotes institutional development and ensuring the seamless integration of faith and learning across all academic programs.
In the realm of academic excellence, the President oversees the development of curricula and academic offerings, maintaining rigorous standards that reflect the institution’s commitment to high-quality theological education. Supporting faculty development and encouraging scholarly activities are also essential components of this responsibility, fostering an environment where academic inquiry and spiritual growth can thrive.
Administrative oversight is another key area, where the President effectively manages institutional resources and supervises senior administrative staff. Ensuring compliance with accreditation standards is critical, as it upholds the institution's credibility and quality of education.
Contextual Education is vital, as the President builds relationships with ecclesiastical and academic communities within the context of the wider communities of stakeholders in various forums, conferences and networks and fostering partnerships with churches and religious organisations.
Finally, spiritual leadership is integral to the role, where the President models spiritual maturity and servant leadership, promoting the spiritual formation of both students and staff while safeguarding the institution’s theological integrity.
Collaboration with the Church Governors and College Regents with oversight of various Director (Hon.) are essential for the successful operation and advancement of the institution's educational mission.
