Serving over 1000 students annually, Bethel is influencing the church around the world through its many graduates. At this point in its history, it is more ready than ever before to build on its commitments to God’s Word and to His church. <br /><br /> Bethel Seminary is blessed to have twenty-six full-time faculty members plus a solid support staff. The annual budget is $8 million. <br /><br /> Bethel Seminary is a single seminary in three locations, with the largest campus located on the 231 acre Bethel University campus in St Paul. Bethel operates another campus in San Diego and two teaching sites on the East Coast, in Auburn, MA, and Washington, DC. <br /><br /> Bethel Seminary is one of three educational units within Bethel University. In addition to the Seminary, an undergraduate liberal arts college (College of Arts and Sciences) and an adult college (College of Adult and Professional Studies and Graduate School) comprise Bethel University. The College of Arts and Sciences offers nearly 100 programs to over 2800 residential students on the St Paul Campus. The College of Adult and Professional Studies and Graduate School offers programs for an equal number of adult learners. The college for adult learners not only runs several teaching sites in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, but also runs a variety of online and hybrid programs. <br /><br /> Founded in 1871, Bethel Seminary began as a seminary for Swedish speaking Baptist immigrants. The school founded a junior college in 1914, and that college launched a four-year curriculum in 1947. Bethel added its adult college in 1989. Today Bethel is a comprehensive university, ranking as a leader among Midwestern Universities in “Americas Best Colleges” in US News & World Report and “Top Colleges for Top Students” in Peterson’s Competitive Universities. <br /><br /> Bethel Seminary serves students from scores of evangelical denominations. The Seminary ethos is broadly evangelical, committed to core evangelical teachings yet open on teachings about which evangelicals disagree. The sponsoring denomination is Converge Worldwide (formerly the Baptist General Conference). Though Bethel serves many students from many denominations, Seminary faculty are asked to join a local church of Converge Worldwide. Bethel Seminary is looking for a Vice President and Dean who will joyfully embrace this centrist evangelical ethos and passionately carry forward Bethel’s mission. <br /><br /> Bethel’s curriculum is distinctively integrative. Each student pursues learning via three centers organized around leadership, formation, and theology. It also has a historical and current track record of success in delivering theological education innovatively. Bethel represents a centrist orientation within the evangelical community in the United States. As against intellectualism pursued as an end, Bethel Seminary’s mission focuses on impact in the church and world. <br /><br /> <b>The Position</b><br /><br /> Bethel seeks an experienced, passionate, and dynamic leader to serve as its new Vice President and Dean of Bethel Seminary. The new Vice President and Dean reports directly to the Executive Vice President and Provost.

He or she is responsible both for the financial performance of the entire Seminary and for the educational outcomes of all of its educational programs. <br /> <br /> Each of the Seminary’s three locations is led by a campus dean. In addition to leading the entire Seminary, the Vice President and Dean serves as the campus dean for the St Paul campus. The faculty and staff of the St Paul campus report directly to the Vice President and Dean. The innovative distance program, the “InMinistry” program, is currently based in St Paul. Bethel Seminary led the seminary world into online education, and an important opportunity for the future is extending the reach of these online educational efforts. Two other deans, carrying the title, Dean and Executive Officer, lead Bethel Seminary operations in San Diego and on the East Coast. These individuals report to the Vice President and Dean who bears ultimate responsibility for the operations of those extension sites. <br /><br /> <b>Key Responsibilities</b><br /><br /> • Provide vision that is effective and affordable. <br /> • Plan, budget, manage operations, and produce results. <br /> • Serve as the primary Bethel Seminary spokesperson. <br /> • Lead all faculty and staff, including essentially functioning as Dean for the St Paul campus. <br /> • Recruit faculty. <br /> • Lead the creative development and delivery of education. <br /> • Demonstrate a capacity for genuine strategic leading, while possessing a pastor’s heart. <br /> • Exhibit a commitment to resource the church and ministry agencies. <br /> • Display a commitment to preparing people to reach the world through churches and ministry agencies. <br /><br /> <b>Background Requirements</b><br /><br /> • Demonstrate ample and current evidence of discipleship of Jesus Christ and participation in a home local church. (Note: the Vice President and Dean will join a Converge Worldwide congregation in the vicinity of St Paul after hire.) <br /> • Agree whole-heartedly with Bethel University Affirmation of Faith and agree with/live by the Covenant for Life Together. • Possess a PhD (or ThD), along with theological depth (other terminal degrees may be considered for the right candidate). <br /> • Give evidence of leadership gifts and experience. <br /> • Have experience in pastoral ministry or similar ministry context. <br /> • Show a track record of producing positive, organizational results. <br /> • Demonstrate experience and effectiveness with diversity. <br /> • Willing to establish primary residence in the vicinity of the St Paul campus quickly. <br /><br /> <b>Initial Expectations</b><br /><br /> The new Vice President and Dean will humbly and persistently lead Bethel Seminary into further, effective Kingdom building. He or she will evidence a commitment to leading Bethel Seminary to make a positive impact, both in the church of North America, and through the church, in the broader culture here and around the world. Understanding the challenging context, he or she will implement an operational model that works financially. In a demanding environment for American seminaries, the right person will seize a great opportunity. <br /><br /> <b>Application Process</b><br /><br /> All inquiries, please send emails to <a href="sem-vp-dean-search@bethel.edu">sem-vp-dean-search@bethel.edu</a> or call 714-602-8620.
