Tchr. & Admin. 24.

My family has been blessed by pastors from both seminaries who have faithfully preached the Word of God and administered His Sacraments. Ihave been honored to serve on this board for the past seven years—the last three as vice-chairman. Following the strategic plan, the board has called faithful faculty members, strengthened chapel worship, improved recruiting for future pastors, maintained financial strength, and cared for the seminary campus. If chosen, I will continue to advocate for the importance of residentially trained pastors who learn in community with fellow seminarians, guided by faithful faculty, and gathered around the Word of God. These well-trained men will be prepared to boldly proclaim Christ to the church and the world.
