The Executive Director of Strategic Innovations (SI) provides senior strategic leadership for Wesley Seminary’s innovation portfolio, ensuring that complex initiatives - such as VIA Journeys and 21st Century Church Initiatives - are theologically grounded, well-governed, institutionally aligned, and positioned for long-term impact.
VIA Journeys is a multi-year initiative designed to strengthen ministry leaders through an integrated ecosystem of academic formation, ministry partnerships, digital tools, and research-informed pilot programs. Supported by external funding and cross-sector collaboration, VIA Journeys represents a flagship innovation effort within Wesley Seminary’s broader Strategic Innovations portfolio.
The 21st Century Church Initiative is central to the institution’s strategic plan. This initiative includes formal and non-formal education pathways, Scholar-practitioner institutes, and Lantern (a digital platform where leaders connect, learn, and grow) to journey with and equip Christian leaders with the tools, community, mentorship, renewal, and spiritual formation they need to lead faithfully in today’s complex world.
This role exists to hold the “whole” of innovation: vision, discernment, governance, sequencing, and sustainability. By separating strategic stewardship from day-to-day execution, the Executive Director ensures that initiatives move forward with clarity and integrity—without overloading a single leader or allowing innovation to drift from the Seminary’s mission.
