2011-2012 annual report (July 1, 2011 - June 30, 2012)

“The Tree of Life� by Sarah Hall, art glass in the prayer room of the renovated John R. Mulder Memorial Chapel

Brandon and Stephanie Smith lead the chapel service, March 15, 2012

All of us at Western Theological Seminary feel the claim of God on our lives to equip a generation of leaders for the church who are “Christ-centered, biblically based, theologically integrated, culturally sensitive and mission oriented.” This is a demanding responsibility, but we are all committed to it!

A Word from the President Dr. Timothy Brown

Wonderful stories are told on the pages of this annual report, and one of them is told in the pictures of the renovated John R. Mulder Memorial Chapel. When it became apparent that it was in need of significant repair, several of us on the faculty took it upon ourselves to put into words what a Reformed worship space would look like if it was deeply rooted in our great tradition but completely sensitive to our cultural context. The keen theological articulation of that group, paired with the fine architectural imagination of Jim VanderMolen of Elevate Studios in Grand Rapids, Michigan, joined with the stunning generosity of a long list of donors and the steady hands of many craftsmen has given us what you see on these pages. And believe me, as good as the pictures are—the reality is markedly better.

You will also see pictured here our most recent graduating class. Hidden in their faces are the gifts of God for the emerging church. They have been called by God one and all, carefully trained by our faculty, and now stand in need of your prayers and encouragement as they seek to fulfill God’s claim on their lives!

Friends, let me say from the bottom of my heart, thank you! All of us at Western Theological Seminary recognize how deeply indebted we are to you for your generous support and heartfelt prayers.

Grace and peace,

Dr. Timothy Brown President and Henry Bast Professor of Preaching

The Pillars of the Earth is a book by Ken Follett about a medieval English town whose life is centered on the construction of a cathedral. For many of the town’s people, this construction was their life’s work, passion and mission. In the pages of this annual report, the members of another community are recorded. I am so grateful for all the people who similarly have made it their mission or life’s work to build the Church, particularly that small but important part of the Church called Western Theological Seminary.

Update from the Vice President of Finance Norman Donkersloot

Western is built on three financial pillars: tuition, investment earnings and contributions. Tuition income was strong during the past year as enrollment neared a record. While the endowment is substantial, its earnings were eroded by shaky market conditions around the world. Contributions were solid and outstanding.

During this past year you provided $5,420,396. This supported the education of 250 students, provided continued education and revitalization for 850 church leaders who are scattered from coast to coast, remodeled a chapel, and established or enlarged 46 named endowments.

Thank you for your work and generosity in building and sustaining the Church. Thank you for all you do for Western Theological Seminary.

The biggest change at Western Theological Seminary during the last fiscal year was the completed renovation of the John R. Mulder Memorial Chapel. We held our first chapel service in the new space on December 14, 2011.

Several photos of the chapel and its beautiful art glass are shown throughout this report.

The illustrated story of the transformation of the chapel from traditional pews facing forward in a rectangular space to flexible seating surrounded by curved walls and a focus upward is told in a booklet available from our Advancement Office. If you are interested, please request a copy from the Advancement team at 616-392-8555, x109 or advancement@ westernsem.edu 6

It was a great honor and privilege for me to be asked to join the wonderful work of my alma mater during this past year. Through your gifts and with the Lord’s blessing, we had a very strong year of giving. I’m indebted especially to my immediate predecessors, Ken Neevel, who served WTS for 14 years, and John Nordstrom, who guided the seminary’s Advancement team through the transition from Ken to me.

Three large gifts especially helped make the 2011-2012 fiscal year successful. Each of these gifts supports an exciting venture, two of which fulfill the seminary’s strategic vision statement, adopted in 2010: In 2020, Western Theological Seminary will be a recognized center for preparing leaders to revitalize existing congregations and start new ones.

Update from the Vice President of Advancement and Communications

Jeff Munroe

In August, 2011, the seminary received the first $500,000 of a $2 million commitment from the Richard and Helen DeVos Foundation to fund the establishment of the WTS-Newbigin House of Studies Master of Divinity degree offered in partnership with City Church San Francisco. Students in the degree program will be especially equipped in urban church planting.

Our goal was to have ten students in the first cohort the Fall of 2012.

Instead, fourteen are enrolled. This degree is a distance learning program, and the students live in California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.

City Church San Francisco is a vibrant church located in the heart of the most secular city in America. Over the past decade they have developed expertise in wise and relevant Christian engagement with the young, highly educated professionals who live in urban centers, and now we are able to partner with them in teaching the next generation of leaders how to navigate the terrain of urban church planting. Dr. Scot Sherman and Dr. Chuck DeGroat are pastors at City Church San Francisco and also lead the Newbigin House of Studies.

“This degree is on the cutting edge of theological education, and I am delighted that our school has both the deep missional commitment to want to do this and the distance learning expertise to carry it out.”

—President Tim Brown

The name “Newbigin,” by the way, is in homage to the British missiologist Lesslie Newbigin, a prolific author and lecturer whose life work was focused on making the Gospel relevant across cultural differences and divides. Lesslie Newbigin visited Western Theological Seminary in 1990 and gave the Osterhaven lectures, which were published in 1991 under the title, Truth to Tell: the Gospel as Public Truth.

The next step in developing this program will be the building of two-way interactive classrooms between Holland, MI and San Francisco. Several gifts were also received during the 2011-2012 fiscal year to fund this technology.

In May, the seminary received an $850,000 grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc. to fund the expansion of the Ridder Church Renewal process to new regions of the Reformed Church in America. Lilly Endowment is an Indianapolis-based private philanthropic foundation which exists to support the causes of religion, education and community development.

STARTING NEW CHURCHES

The seminary, the denomination, and local congregations are collaborating through Ridder Church Renewal to revitalize congregations and those who lead them. Focusing on the principle that congregational transformation begins with personal transformation, the process helps pastors and lay leaders develop the tools to confront unhealthy systems and models that prevent growth. Participants commit “I’m grateful for how the Ridder Church to courageous and authentic communication and to understanding the pressures Renewal process is cultivating courageous systems bring on individual behavior. Building on the core values of integrity, courage, leaders in the RCA who are helping churches authenticity and love, participants learn to develop non-anxious leadership styles, to make a significant difference in God’s kingdom deal with conflict, and to create more effective teams.

Former WTS president Dr. Herman Ridder and his wife Lenora laid the foundation for this program in 1997 when they created a leadership endowment at the seminary.

Initially piloted in the Synods of the Great Lakes and Mid-America, the gift from Lilly will allow the Ridder process to expand to New York, Ontario and Wisconsin.

and in the world. Courageous congregations require courageous leaders.”

—Dr. Tom DeVries, General Secretary of the Reformed Church in America.

In March, 2012, the seminary received the first $500,000 of a $2 million commitment from the Dave and Carol Van Andel Foundation to establish the Gordon H. Girod Research Chair in Reformed Theology. Dr. J. Todd Billings will be installed in this chair in the spring of 2013. A detailed report about this will be included in the 2012-2013 Annual Report.
