The trustees of Nazarene Theological Seminary are delighted to announce the election of Dr. Jeren Rowell as President. Dr. Rowell is well known for his gifted leadership and theological integrity. He is highly respected by NTS' broad community, including the Board of General Superintendents of the Church of the Nazarene, NTS trustees, faculty, staff, students, and the seminary’s global constituency. Dr. Rowell received approval by the trustees on October 12, 2017. His election comes three and a half months after NTS’ previous president, Dr. Carla Sunberg, was elected to the Board of General Superintendents of the Church of the Nazarene. Dr. Rowell’s election follows a comprehensive search process that began in late July. Dr. David Downs, Chair of the Presidential Search Committee and Vice-Chair of the NTS trustees, noted the trustees’ confidence in Dr. Rowell, especially “his understanding of the intricacies of graduate-level theological education. Throughout his ministry—as a pastor, an adjunct professor, the editor of Preacher’s Magazine, and as Superintendent of the Kansas City District Church of the Nazarene—Dr. Rowell has demonstrated a strong passion for the theological education and practical/professional preparation of ministers in the Wesleyan/holiness tradition.”
Join with us in celebrating God’s continued faithfulness to Nazarene Theological Seminary.
