The Director will manage events, host local pastors and guests, coordinate activities, and oversee classroom environments and student workers within the main campus seminary facility. This position provides leadership and hospitality in the development of strategic relationships with local churches and ministries in alignment with the mission and commitment of the seminary to serve the ecclesial community.

This 12-month position is administrative but entails a teaching load, primarily at the graduate level, related to practical ministry and pastoral leadership. While most courses will be taught in the traditional ground classroom, willingness and ability to teach some online courses is important.
