GREETINGS<br />
FROM CHAIR OF THE SEARCH COMMITTEE<br />
Dear Prospective Candidate,<br />
Thank you for exploring your potential fit for the Presidency of <strong>Simpson</strong> University.<br />
<strong>Simpson</strong> University has experienced momentous changes in 25-year increments; 25 years ago we<br />
moved the campus from San Francisco to Redding, 25 years before that we moved the campus from<br />
Seattle to San Francisco and each of those were accompanied by significant impacts on faculty, facilities,<br />
fundraising, and a host of other arenas. At our 100th year we are poised for more significant changes,<br />
this time impacted by national trends, political challenges, student profiles and financial trends. As<br />
you can imagine, these challenges require creative and dynamic leadership and thus our search for a<br />
president is a key component of our plans for the next 25 years.<br />
I hope you will peruse the <strong>Opportunity</strong> <strong>Profile</strong>, explore the <strong>Simpson</strong> University website, and watch<br />
our video presentation to gain an impression of the ongoing strengths and commitments of <strong>Simpson</strong><br />
University and Tozer Seminary. The challenges may be daunting, but you will see vision, energy, and<br />
commitment that will carry the campus forward under God’s leadership and guidance.<br />
If your spiritual gifts, talents, and experience qualify you as a candidate, we invite you to review the<br />
Process of Candidacy section and follow the instructions provided. If you have questions, please contact<br />
Tommy Thomas or Laura Coverstone (615.261.4623), the JobfitMatters consultants who are assisting<br />
us in conducting this search.<br />
We hope you will consider adding your talents and experience to our vision and mission. We are eager<br />
to see who God calls to lead <strong>Simpson</strong> as its next president.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Jim Postma<br />
<strong>President</strong>ial Search Committee Chair<br />
OVERVIEW<br />
Founded by the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) denomination, <strong>Simpson</strong> University has<br />
been equipping students intellectually and spiritually for almost 100 years. <strong>Simpson</strong> has been shaped<br />
by the theological legacy of C&MA pastors A.B. <strong>Simpson</strong> and A.W. Tozer, sharing their conviction that<br />
God’s saving purpose is the renewal of human hearts and lives through the transforming work of the<br />
Holy Spirit.<br />
With the retirement of current <strong>President</strong> Robin Dummer in May <strong>2018</strong>, <strong>Simpson</strong> is now embarking<br />
on a search for the 15th <strong>President</strong> of the institution. The next leader will have many strengths on<br />
which to build <strong>Simpson</strong>’s future. The scenic surroundings and the ongoing development of the campus<br />
master plan create a dynamic and welcoming environment for learning and recreation. The faculty of<br />
<strong>Simpson</strong> University is known for caring and personal interaction with students, while maintaining the<br />
fervent desire to follow God and to guide students toward a greater knowledge of God and His world.<br />
Programs and individual courses seek to not only develop deep knowledge and expertise in particular<br />
areas, but to do so with a view to how God has provided all knowledge and wants each student to use<br />
what they learn in God’s service.<br />
Along with these strengths, <strong>Simpson</strong> faces many of the same challenges that other small, private liberal<br />
arts colleges are facing, but the severity and toll on the community have been significant. Finances and<br />
enrollment pressure are clearly at the top of the list of challenges. Dropping from a peak high of 1200<br />
students, <strong>Simpson</strong> is currently serving 900. The culture and marketplace is changing rapidly, placing<br />
ever-increasing and changing demands on Christ-centered institutions. The <strong>Simpson</strong> community<br />
needs a missional leader who thrives on this challenge; someone who will lead them in crystalizing a<br />
vision for the future of <strong>Simpson</strong> and making this vision a reality. Specifically, <strong>Simpson</strong>’s next president<br />
must be drawn to develop new partnerships and resources while maintaining existing relationships. The<br />
<strong>President</strong> should be energized by spending time with various constituent groups; sharing the <strong>Simpson</strong><br />
vision; drawing potential students, donors and other strategic partners into the <strong>Simpson</strong> Vision.<br />
Above all, the <strong>Simpson</strong> community seeks a <strong>President</strong> who walks closely with God and trusts Him for a<br />
prosperous future (Jeremiah 29:11). <strong>Simpson</strong> needs a leader who is strong, decisive, and Holy Spirit led.

university is to be a “gateway to world<br />

Commission is lived out.<br />
Note: All <strong>Simpson</strong> University employees will<br />
be asked to affirm these values each time that<br />
an employment agreement is tendered by the<br />
institution. Affirmation by signature indicates an<br />
understanding of these values and a commitment to<br />
live and work in support of these tenets.<br />
<strong>Simpson</strong> University was founded in 1921 as <strong>Simpson</strong><br />
Bible Institute by W.W. Newberry, who served as its<br />
first president. Established in Seattle, Washington, the<br />
school was named in honor of Albert Benjamin <strong>Simpson</strong><br />
(1843-1919), a Presbyterian minister who pioneered the<br />
Bible institute movement during the late nineteenth<br />
century and founded the Christian and Missionary<br />
Alliance. Initially offering a two-year program of study,<br />
the school was designed to promote spiritual growth and<br />
prepare students for Christian life and service, especially<br />
overseas.<br />
As the 1926 catalog stated: “Seattle is several hundred<br />
miles nearer to China than any other trade routes across<br />
the Pacific...if this is the gateway through which the<br />
blessed gospel must reach millions yet in darkness, it is<br />
an ideal place to train and equip those who shall carry it<br />
to these needy souls...”<br />
By 1940, <strong>Simpson</strong> was offering a choice of programs:<br />
Theology, Missiology and Bible/Music. By 1945, it had<br />
officially become the western regional school of the<br />
C&MA.<br />
In 1955, the school moved to San Francisco, and its name<br />
was changed to <strong>Simpson</strong> Bible College since it was now<br />
granting bachelor’s degrees. <strong>Simpson</strong> has been regionally<br />
accredited by WSCUC since 1969. Over the years, the<br />
college continued to broaden its academic offerings so<br />
that by the time the half-century mark was reached in<br />
1971, it had become a more comprehensive liberal arts<br />
college offering professional, as well as biblical studies.<br />
That same year, the name was changed to <strong>Simpson</strong><br />
College.<br />
Another historic milestone was passed in 1989 when<br />
<strong>Simpson</strong> relocated to its current location in Redding<br />
and began building a new campus, which is still a work<br />
in progress. Since the move, undergraduate enrollment<br />
has grown from less than 200 to its current enrollment<br />
of 710. Graduate programs (including the School of<br />
Education and A.W. Tozer Theological Seminary) have<br />
been established, and the Adult Studies (ASPIRE)<br />
program was added. In 2004, <strong>Simpson</strong> College became<br />
<strong>Simpson</strong> University.<br />
The addition of <strong>Simpson</strong>’s School of Nursing in 2012<br />
and completion of the state-of-the-art Science and<br />
Nursing Center in 2013 have led to significant regional<br />
and state-wide recognition of the program. In 2017,<br />
The Betty M. Dean School of Nursing was ranked 14th<br />
out of the top 30 nursing schools in California.<br />
Today, <strong>Simpson</strong> students represent a range of Christian<br />
denominations. Typically, the largest segment are<br />
members of The Christian and Missionary Alliance; the<br />
remainder are associated with more than 30 different<br />
denominations and several independent churches. They<br />
represent a mix of ethnic backgrounds, and they come<br />
from a number of states and foreign countries.<br />
The faculty, as well, reflect a broad range of evangelical<br />
backgrounds. Educated at a cross-section of institutions<br />
across the nation, they are also<br />
experienced in international<br />
study and ministry.<br />
Since the early 1950’s, the<br />
logo-statement of the college<br />
has been “Gateway to World<br />
Service.” Although the original<br />
mission has expanded since<br />
1921 and alumni of today<br />
serve in a variety of ministerial<br />
and lay professions, <strong>Simpson</strong><br />
University maintains its focus<br />
on global service and its<br />
passion to deliver the<br />
gospel of Christ to<br />
those still lost in<br />
darkness.

NUMBER OF ALUMNI 12,296<br />
CHRISTIAN DISTINCTIVES<br />
1. We Are Historically Orthodox. We affirm the historic Christian faith, as attested in the divinely<br />
inspired and authoritative Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. We rejoice that God’s grace is<br />
available to us through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and that through faith in Christ we are<br />
delivered from sin and death and empowered by the Holy Spirit for lives of joyful obedience to the Father.<br />
2. We Are Clearly Evangelical. We stand within the broad evangelical tradition of Christianity and, as<br />
such, we joyfully accept the task of proclaiming the evangel—God’s good news—to the world. We understand<br />
this to mean that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior of the world and that he alone can liberate broken and<br />
fallen human beings from sin and death. We lift high the authority of Holy Scripture as divinely inspired,<br />
embraced by the church as central to our understanding and witness. We affirm that the Holy Spirit works<br />
in human hearts to kindle faith in Jesus Christ, to restore people to a right relationship with God and each<br />
other, and to begin transforming people into the likeness of Christ.<br />
3. We Are Distinctively C&MA. The Christian and Missionary Alliance is our founding denomination.<br />
We are informed by the theological legacy of A.B. <strong>Simpson</strong> and A.W. Tozer. Jesus Christ is our Savior,<br />
Sanctifier, Healer and coming King!<br />
4. We Are Denominationally Collaborative. From the outset the C&MA gathered persons from many<br />
theological and ecclesial traditions who had experienced the transforming power of Jesus Christ through the<br />
indwelling spirit and who wanted to serve the world. We believe that theological diversity, when grounded in<br />
historic orthodoxy and a common and vital faith in Christ, enriches learning and bears witness to our Lord’s<br />
call for unity within the church.<br />

PRESIDENTIAL PROFILE<br />
The Position<br />
The <strong>Simpson</strong> <strong>President</strong> is accountable to the Board of Trustees for compliance with the By-Laws<br />
and Board Governance Policies for the overall leadership and management of <strong>Simpson</strong> University<br />
in achieving its objectives.<br />
Under the current organizational structure, the <strong>President</strong>’s direct reports include the following<br />
members:<br />
• Chief Operating Officer<br />
• Director of Development<br />
• Chief Academic Officer/Provost<br />
The Challenge….The Call<br />
As <strong>Simpson</strong> prepares to celebrate 100 years as an institution in 2021, there is a deep desire to<br />
build on the foundation of the past and to continue preparing graduates to change the world in<br />
God’s service. The challenges are many, but fundamentally fall in three categories. First, <strong>Simpson</strong><br />
must create a shared vision internally and with outside partners that results in unity and resources<br />
to pursue and fulfill the vision. Second, there is a vital need to prioritize <strong>Simpson</strong>’s efforts in line<br />
with the mission, vision and values in an environment that calls for trying everything to succeed<br />
in higher education. Third, developing a sustainable business model and strategic partnerships are<br />
crucial to assure adequate funding for operations, expansion and debt reduction. Such funding will<br />
require a new balance of tuition income, donor income, a much larger endowment and reduced<br />
dependence on government subsidies. The next president must take the lead in mobilizing all of<br />
<strong>Simpson</strong> to pursue the essential priorities needed to<br />
achieve her full potential.<br />

EXPECTATIONS<br />
OF THE PRESIDENT<br />
Successful leadership in any educational institution is judged by how well the <strong>President</strong> meets the<br />
expectations of its Board, meets the needs of its students, and responds to the input of its faculty,<br />
administration and other constituent groups. In a recent survey, respondents from a cross section of<br />
the community named the top three priorities for the next <strong>President</strong> to be 1) strengthen the spiritual<br />
development of the students, 2) improve the internal morale and climate of our university and 3) increase<br />
the enrollment at our university. Certainly, <strong>Simpson</strong> is at a crossroads and the challenges are many, but the<br />
community is hopeful for a faithful, decisive leader to guide the institution toward its centennial in 2021.<br />
Based on the framework of the university’s mission, vision, identity, and core values, the <strong>Simpson</strong><br />
University Strategic Plan 2017-2021 is a dynamic document designed to guide the university. It focuses<br />
on four institutional priorities that comprise strategic goals and measurable action plans.<br />
Institutional Priorities:<br />
1. Enhance Institutional Capacity for Sustainability and Growth<br />
2. Enhance Institutional Capacity for Academic Sustainability and Innovation<br />
3. Develop a Campus Community that is Intentionally Diverse, Socially Aware, and Environmentally<br />
Engaged<br />
4. Strengthen the <strong>Simpson</strong> Student Experience that is Transformative and Holistic<br />
