Executive Director – Ohio Council of Churches

Rector & Dean – Trinity Lutheran Seminary
The next Rector and Dean will assume leadership at a consequential and promising moment in the life of both the Seminary and the University. As one of seven seminaries of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and one of only three embedded ELCA seminaries within a broader university, Trinity occupies a distinctive place in theological education.
The Rector and Dean will help define and communicate a compelling vision for Trinity’s future – one deeply rooted in Lutheran theology and the formation of leaders for Christ’s church while responsive to changing patterns of ministry, theological education, and congregational life. The leader will be called to strengthen sustainable enrollment, nurture a culture of formation and belonging, advance innovative and accessible approaches to theological education, deepen relationships across the ELCA and broader church, and expand Trinity’s public witness and external visibility.
As Trinity’s chief executive and administrative leader, the Rector and Dean reports to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and serves as an active leader within Capital University. The successful candidate will bring theological depth, pastoral credibility, academic judgment, strategic imagination, and relational strength and will be able to work effectively at the intersection of church, university, community, and vocation.
