Leadership Insight

n the afternoon of April 27 the trustees elected

Golden Gate Seminary’s seventh president.This

was a historic day and a decision that will have

a lasting impact on our Seminary. Dr. Jeff Iorg’s election

was the result of much prayer and of a search process

that sought only to find the man God had to lead

Golden Gate Seminary.

I have known Dr. Iorg for over fifteen years and have

watched him mature as a key kingdom leader of God's

work here in the West. I know for certain, and the selection

process has shown, that he posses the leadership qualities

that are necessary to lead this Seminary to a bright future.

Dr. Iorg’s knowledge of ministry needs in the West and his

leadership skills uniquely qualify him for this key leadership

role. His experience as director of the Northwest Baptist

Convention allows him to fully understand what churches

in the West are facing. I am confident he is God's man for

this strategic leadership position in the west.

As I look back on my tenure at Golden Gate I am deeply

grateful for the opportunity to serve the churches of the

Southern Baptist Convention and the churches of the West.

I am looking forward to working with Dr. Iorg over the next

two years as chancellor, not only in an orderly and smooth

transition, but as a partner as we continue to shape effec-

tive leaders for the churches of tomorrow. I congratulate

the Presidential Search Committee on a job well done and

I pledge my unqualified support to Dr. Iorg as he assumes

the leadership of this great Seminary.

Some people see aseminary presidency as a place in the spotlight. I did toountil a few years ago. But now I know better.While somesee a spotlight, I see a consuming column of fire. Godhas called me to walk into it and be consumed by it.

“We have boundless opportunity and seemingly insur-mountable obstacles before us.To me, that is the perfectsituation. God must be trusted, and trust Him we will.God is advancing this seminary into the future. I intendto get in step with Him.

Roy Fish, distinguished professor of evangelism atSouthwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, was alsoimpressed with the Iorg election, “A finer choice couldnot be made in recommending Dr. Jeff Iorg as incomingpresident of Golden Gate Seminary.Along with being adevoted follower of the Lord, Dr. Iorg possesses excep-tional leadership qualities and administrative abilities.

“He inspires confidence and is an encouragerand an inspiration to those who work withhim. Golden Gate could not pursue a moreexceptional man. Dr. Jeff Iorg lives and worksfor the glory of God and the achievement ofHis purposes in the world,” said Fish.

Dwight Honeycutt, the Seminary’s William A. Carletonprofessor of church history and member of on theadvisory committee that helped select Dr. Iorg said,“JeffIorg is respected and appreciated by those of ourfaculty who know him. I can't begin to tell you howenthusiastic I am that we will have a servant-leader ofsuch amazing gifts and integrity as Dr. Iorg to lead us infulfilling the Golden Gate vision.”

Mark Edlund, the Executive Director of the ColoradoBaptist General Convention, has had professional con-tact with Dr. Iorg as a fellow western state executiveand agrees with the trustee election.“As a western stateExecutive Director, I celebrate the nomination of Dr. JeffIorg as the next president of Golden Gate Seminary.

“Golden Gate's vision of fully-accredited, contextualizedleadership training through a network of regional cam-puses is the key to the realization of total Gospel satu-ration throughout the West. Dr. Iorg, as one of theauthors of this vision, is the obvious man to carry it tothe next level,” Edlund stated. “As a successful churchplanter in the Northwest and as an experienced stateexecutive in the West, Dr. Iorg will step naturally intothe shoes of Dr. Crews and Golden Gate's mission. I canthink of no better man to take this key institution intothe new century.”

Dr. Iorg is a graduate of Hardin Simmons University(B.A.), Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary(M.Div.), and Southwestern Baptist TheologicalSeminary (D.Min.). He has written numerous articlesand curriculum materials. He is married to Ann and hasthree children – Casey, Melody, and Caleb.

a seminary president except by the overwhelming,matchless, powerful grace of God,” Iorg told the audience.

Throughout these early, unstable and tumultuous yearsof life, Iorg found his stability in two areas. One was“committing my life to Jesus Christ as my Saviorand Lord,” Iorg stated.

“Nothing else, like what happened to me at the fair thatday, has impacted me more than that one singularchoice.That choice gave me a new identity and allowedme to be a ‘new creation’ in Jesus. He erased all thestigma of my old identity and gave me a new identity—His son, His child, His brother. Jesus Christ made me anew creation.

“The second area I found stability was by commit-ting my life to a Baptist church. It was at ElmcrestBaptist Church that men taught me how to be a man,taught me how to love a spouse and how to be a fatherto children and taught me how to relate in family. Forten years that church made a difference in my life.”

Also at the chapel service Iorg, shared four of hispassions that he felt would affect the Seminary.Iorg’s first passion is “getting the Gospel to everysingle person in the world.What drives me at the coreis not a political movement, is not a position of authority,

Dr. Jeff Iorg, speaking during his first chapel service aspresident-elect on April 28, relayed his desire todevelop a relationship with the students, faculty, staff,and trustees present. During the hour-long service, Iorgstated that leadership was an “influence relationship”and in order to “begin to establish a relationship withone another” he shared his testimony with the audience.

Iorg shared about his turbulent upbringing in analcoholic family. His life began with an alcoholic father,whom he and his mother fled when he was three yearsold. He was then raised by a stepfather, who alsostruggled with alcoholism.

At the age of 12, Iorg had a life-changing encounter withJesus Christ at a church booth set up at a regional fairin Texas. “Something inside of me said ‘this is it Jeff, thisis what you are missing in your life.’” From that pointon, Iorg felt God’s grace and hand in his life.

“Overarching my life is an umbrellaof God’s grace,” said Iorg. “There is no otherexplanation how a boy born in Georgia, to a father hehas never seen or known, have his name changed by amother who went into hiding, be reared in anotheralcoholic home, have no connection with God or thegospel except a Baptist church that went to the fair.There is no explanation to how that person can become

Jeff Iorg, speaking at his first chapel service since beingnamed president of Golden Gate Baptist TheologicalSeminary, told the audience God's grace is the onlyexplanation for a person with his childhood becomingthe leader of a godly institution.

Iorg sees leadership as“InfluenceRelationship”

not a prestige that comes from the presidency, whatdrives me is people coming to Christ.

“I want the gospel to be for everyone, I want the Gospelto go the county fair, I want it to go to race tracks, Iwant it to go to bars, I want it to go to ranches inColorado, and reservations in Arizona, I want it to go tologgers in the Northwest, and I want it to go all aroundthe Pacific Rim and around the world. I want every littleboy like I was and every other person to hear theGospel.”

The second passionthat Iorg shared wasthat of his family. “Myfamily legacy is a check-ered past.When my wifeand I got married, one ofthe vows I asked her tomake to me was to joinme in staking our life onbuilding a new legacy ofthe Iorg name.

“So that our name would have the legacy of Christattached to it and that at two or three generations fromnow, our children would talk about their great-grand-father and great-great-grandfather and what he stoodfor in Christ and how that has rolled down through thegenerations.”

The third passion Iorg highlighted was the church.“There is no other institution or organization in theworld today that is the hope of the world like thechurch.We have to start them, restart them, build themand we have to learn to manage and lead them, but thechurch is the investment organization for the future forevery one of our lives.

“When the chips are down—and you will come to apoint in your life when the chips will be down—you willbe fortunate and blessed if you have a Baptist churchyou can turn to for help.”

The fourth area that Iorg shared was a compassionfor people that need to change. “The world we livein does not need our condemnation, it needs the com-passion of Christ demonstrated from Christians.

Iorg concluded the chapel service by repeating hisdesire to develop a relationship with those in atten-dance and by stating, “Hopefully, today I have beentransparent enough that you have seen a little bit intomy soul and you know a little bit more about theperson I am.”

A copy of the full chapel address given by Iorg isavailable at www.ggbts.edu.

Future Christian leaders will find a valuable resource tounderstand the real world of global missions and ministryin The David and Faith Kim School of Intercultural Studiesat Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary.The February10 dedication of the Kim Wing, where the Kim School ofIntercultural Studies is located, will mark its completionafter six months of construction.

The $500,000 project, consisting of eight offices, a class-room and a conference room, was funded by the Kims andother friends of Golden Gate Seminary.

The Kim School “has been brought intoour institution by the grace and blessingsof God, to assure appropriate culturalunderstanding in the development ofGod’s servants for global ministry at homeand abroad,” said Dr. Ray Tallman, the newly appoint-ed director of The David and Faith Kim School ofIntercultural Studies.

He said the program fits well into the Seminary’s missionstatement: “Under the Lordship of Christ, Golden GateBaptist Theological Seminary provides education and min-istry experiences to shape Christian leaders through pro-grams that emphasize spiritual growth, biblically-basedscholarship and ministry skills development – all within amulticultural setting.”

The dedication ceremonies honored David and Faith Kimof Southern California, who donated $5.25 million tofinance the school’s program in 1996. They came to theUnited States from Korea 35 years ago and have beenactive in California Southern Baptist work.

degree from Golden Gate and has taught at the Seminarysince 1991. She serves as associate professor of intercul-tural studies and Christian education and serves as associ-ate director of the Kim School.

“The world today desperately needs the message of JesusChrist presented across cultural boundaries around theworld,” said Tom Jones, vice president of InstitutionalAdvancement. “And the Kim School of Golden GateSeminary aims to meet that need.”

The ceremonies included a special Chapel service, lunch-eon and ribbon cutting of the remodeled wing of theSeminary to house the Kim School. The Kims daughters,Andrea, Daniella and Sandra, presented special music.

“Contemporary ministry demands cross-cultural ministryskills,” said Chancellor William O. Crews. “This schoolwas established to allow Golden GateSeminary to craft a thorough program ofintercultural studies and training to helpchurch leaders minister to people of allcultures, both in North America andabroad. The Kim School of Interculturalstudies will allow us to fulfill that goal.”

Chancellor William O. Crews said at a special Founder’sDay Chapel and banquet marking the 60th anniversary ofthe Seminary’s founding. The celebration also included abanquet honoring current and past staff and faculty.

Dr. Crews recounted how in 1944 founding President IsamHodges’ vision for a seminary in the West became reality,in Berkley, Oakland, Mill Valley and later throughout theWestern United States.

“When we see what God has done with this vision in thepast 60 years, who knows what He will do in the next 60years,” Crews commented.

Special guests included two of the Rev. Hodges’ children,Harlan Hodges and his wife Marcheta and Bea Hodges Hill,grandson Brad Hodges and Tammie Hill, wife of grandsonJoe Hill.

Other special guests included Frieda Graves, widow of for-mer President Dr. Harold K. Graves, and their daughterNancy McLaughlin.

“It is because there are men and women who did some-thing significant for God, who placed that dream in theirheart, that is why we are here today,” added Crews.

The chapel and banquet featuredhighlights of the early years inOakland and Berkeley during the1940s and ’50s, the move acrossSan Francisco Bay to Mill Valley in1959 and the expansion in the westincluding opening additional cam-puses in Southern California(1973), the Pacific Northwest

(1980),Arizona (1995) and Colorado (1996).

Dr. Crews also noted that the Seminary has establishedethnic leadership centers serving more than 600 studentsin California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah,Colorado, New Mexico,Arizona and Arkansas.

Included were video excerpts from a 1992 interview byDr. Graves, who was president from 1952-77 and spear-headed the move to Mill Valley and construction of thefacility on a scenic hill overlooking San Francisco. Gravesrecalled that the Seminary paid $400,000 for the 129-acresite, which was once considered a potential location forthe United Nations headquarters.

“Golden Gate Seminary exists and thrives todaybecause of a compelling dream, articulated byvisionary leaders and pursued by literally hundredsof men and women who have given their lives to thepursuit of that dream, a dream that came true,”

Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary recentlyreceived approval from its primary accrediting body tooffer full degrees at the Seminary’s Rocky MountainCampus in Centennial, Colo.This completes the process ofreceiving accreditation approval for all five of Golden GateSeminary’s campuses located throughout the West.

“This is very significant in the history of

Golden Gate Seminary. There is no other sem-

inary in the United States or Canada that

has this kind of approval in as many

places,” stated Dr. Bill Crews, chancellor of GoldenGate.“It is a testament to the way ministry must be donein the West—contextually educating students in theirenvironment.”

The Commission on Accrediting of the Association ofTheological Schools notified Golden Gate Seminary offi-cials of its decision Feb. 10. The Seminary plans to offer thefull Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in TheologicalStudies at the Rocky Mountain Campus.

“We have waited for this day since the early nineties whenthe vision was first cast to have a Southern Baptist semi-nary in Colorado to train pastors for Colorado,” saidSteve Veteto, director of the Rocky Mountain Campus.

“We feel that this is confirmation of God’s provision andplan for equipping leaders for the churches of Coloradoand the Rocky Mountain region.”

Instrumental to the Seminary’s growth and development inColorado, Seminary officials said, has been Mark Edlund,executive director of the Colorado Baptist GeneralConvention.

“God has given the CBGC a vision of being a part of achurch planting movement that will totally saturate ourstate with the gospel. A major key to the achievement ofthis vision is quality leadership development,” Edlund said.“This leadership training must be accomplished locally asthe majority of our present and future leaders are bi-voca-tional.

“These men and women will never have the opportunityto receive training at one of our six residential campuses,”he added.“Thus a local campus is a necessity.The presenceof the now fully accredited RMC in our state is perhapsGod’s greatest affirmation of the vision and direction Hehas given us.We are forever thankful that Golden Gate hasgiven us the opportunity to have our own quality seminaryright here in the Rocky Mountains.”

The Rocky Mountain Campus currently has three full-timeprofessors and 58 students enrolled in the spring term.

A better understanding of Islam was the agenda at GoldenGate Baptist Theological Seminary’s annual mission confer-ence Feb. 13-15.The event, hosted by The David and FaithKim School of Intercultural Studies, drew approximately250 college students from across the West to theNorthern California campus.

“Within our culture today, there is a sense of fear aboutIslam,” said Tyler Watts, a student from California BaptistUniversity.“This conference has helped me understand thenature of the Islam faith and how, out of love, we can moreeffectively share the Gospel to Muslims.”

Bringing in experts from both academia and the missionfield, the conference offered practical help to reach thenearly 1.2 billion Muslims worldwide with the message ofJesus Christ.

“This has been a strategic opportunityfor Golden Gate to host this event and toconnect these potential missionaries withone of the most demanding and thrillingmission fields on earth,” stated Dr. Ray Tallman,the director of the Kim School of Intercultural Studies atGolden Gate. Dr.Tallman has worked with Muslim peoplein North Africa and the Middle East throughout his career.

One of the featured speakers was Imad Shehadeh, founderand president of Jordan Evangelical TheologicalSeminary—the only state recognized seminary in Jordan.“God’s power is one of the most untapped powers in theuniverse. As believers there is not a task that is insur-mountable.”

Brannan Duncan, a student at Golden Gate who hasrecently returned from the United Arab Emirates, felt theconference added to his depth of understanding concern-ing Islam.

“Islam has become such a focal point in the world todaysince 9/11; this conference has renewed my passion toreturn to the Muslim people and share with them my lovefor Christ in their context,” stated Duncan.

In addition to speakers and personal counseling opportu-nities, students were also provided seminar sessions.

Sessions included strategies for ministering to Muslims, thevarious avenues for mobilizing believers to meet world-wide mission needs, and the historical roots of religioustension in the Middle East.

“What this conference has done is bring a realistic per-spective to the Islamic faith. Since 9/11, everybody tells uswhat Islam is, but the important reality is that Muslims arepeople who need Christ,” said Keri Sheckler, director ofstudent mobilizations at California Baptist University.

Dr. Bill Wagner, the E. Hermond Westmoreland Professorof Evangelism at Golden Gate, presented his new book,How Islam Plans to Change the World, which he feels allowsbelievers to understand Islam and its theology.

“The events on 9/11 issued what many leading historiansfeel will be a clash of civilizations between Islam andChristianity. Therefore, it is imperative that Christiansspend time understanding the theology of Islam,” statedWagner.

“The call of God in a believer's life is always a call to stepinto something larger than oneself,” said Stacey Harris,program administrator for The David and Faith Kim Schoolof Intercultural Studies.“Through their participation in themissions conference, my prayer is that students were ableto release some of the fear that surrounds this topic andgain the information necessary to share the Gospel withthe ends of the earth.”
