“I am drawn to Columbia Theological Seminary because I believe with its long and rich history, it is positioned to serve a vital purpose of leading the theological academy by preparing people for innovative, creative, and substantive leadership. With the collaboration of trustees, students, faculty, administrators, alumni, community organizers, faith leaders, and donors, I intend to serve to equip the saints for ministry. The vision statement speaks to my passion for continuing to explore and model how God intersects our common call at all levels.” Rev. Dr. Victor Aloyo, 11th President Columbia Theological Seminary.
These individuals bring a passion for theological education and for this institution to their work on the Board of Trustees.
