The Board of Trustees and Search Committee at Lexington Theological Seminary (LTS) seek nominations and applications for President of the Seminary. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. It is anticipated that the new president will assume office in the summer of 2008.

The LTS president must be a member of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) who, most critically, will bring to the position a special talent for fundraising and an ability to grow the student population during this transitional period in theological education. The successful candidate will provide visionary leadership, build a strong community among Seminary constituents, manage the affairs of the Seminary through effective planning and administrative accountability, and articulate the Seminary’s mission to those who have been called to the ministry and to others.

LTS is the pioneer theological school in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), was founded in 1865 and is located in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky where much of the Disciples’ early history occurred. The Seminary is deeply ecumenical in orientation, preparing students for service in a wide variety of denominations. The Seminary’s mission is to prepare faithful leaders, to be a theological center for the church’s life, and to be a partner with local congregations in students’ formation in the practice of ministry. Students serve over 40 ministry sites through an outstanding field service program that can begin as early as their first year of study. LTS offers the D.Min, M.Div, MA in Religious Education, MA in Pastoral Studies and collaborative programs in Gerontology and Social Work with the University of Kentucky located across the street from the Seminary. LTS has recently established its first satellite campus offering the D.Min degree in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Applications will be treated in confidence and should consist of a cover letter and resume or curriculum vitae. Materials should be addressed to Mr. Richard Griffith, chair of the Presidential Search Committee and sent electronically (MS Word preferred) to:
