The Board of Regents of Trinity Bible College is pleased to announce that Rev. G.L. (Jack) Strom is to be installed as the president of Trinity Bible College on May 2, 2008 during the spring commencement service. The service will take place at 11:00 AM in the Ray Ulmer Field House on the college Campus. President Strom will also address the graduating class as the commencement speaker.
On February 29, 2008, the Trinity Bible College Board of Regents took action to form an Executive Team for the college by selecting Rev. G.L. (Jack) Strom, Rev. Samuel H. Johnson and Rev. Samuel Farina, to assume executive leadership of the college.
G.L. (Jack) Strom was selected to be the President of the college. Jack along with his wife Barb, will be relocating from Florida to Ellendale, North Dakota, to fill the President's office immediately.
Ministry is an inseparable part of Jack Strom's life, either as the son of a minister, a Bible college student, pastor, church college administrator, missionary evangelist or strategic initiative planner. After serving as a pastor, in 1972, Jack Strom joined the administrative team of North Central Bible College, Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he served as Vice President of Development. In 1982, he left the college to start his own strategic planning service, Strom Ministry Concepts.
Jack Strom has led churches and para-church organizations to dramatic growth in giving, both as a pastor and as a capital fund initiative planner. Under his consulting leadership, churches, colleges and other church related ministries have experienced increases in giving, totaling millions of dollars.
Jack Strom is a proven problem solver, committed to encouraging and helping those he serves to rise above obstacles and to realize new victories and opportunities which include the excitement and challenges that come with the adventure of walking out God-given vision.
As an actively sought after speaker, Jack Strom is called upon to speak at missions conventions, leadership retreats, and to be the pulpit guest at churches across the nation.
To serve with President Strom, Sam Farina and Sam Johnson were appointed to serve as Executive Vice Presidents. While they will not be resident on the Trinity Bible College campus, they will form a strategic planning team for the college with President Strom. Along with the continuation of their already established field ministry, they will also represent Trinity Bible College wherever they go.
