President’s Report A Historic Year The 2016-17 academic year was a historic one at Welch College as we transitioned to our new campus in Gallatin, Tennessee. This process has been stressful, but it has been wonderful. It is unheard of to sell a campus, lease back a portion of it, thus reducing operations to a much smaller footprint, build a new campus, and begin operations on a completely new campus—and have to do this in such a brief window of time. What this means is that our faculty, staff, and students have experienced an unprecedented mix of difficulty and delight that has characterized this move. Our faculty and staff are to be commended for their diligent work and patience during this transition. Our relocation team, consisting of Bob Bass, Jon Forlines, Sandy Goodfellow, Greg Ketteman, Craig Mahler, and David Williford, as well as Mark Johnson and Tom Sass, has done a stellar job. Our students, who had to endure a month of online study and then joyfully endured the process of trouble-shooting in brand-new residence halls, have inspired me with their longsuffering and optimistic attitudes. One of those students, Josh Chapman, recently wrote the following on a blog, which encapsulates the outlook of our wonderful students: The transition was definitely a test of patience, but it was worth every bit of the wait. It’s wonderful. I leave my hotel-esque dorm to head to

class, and I can’t help but be in awe of what God has blessed us with. We have finally entered a new level where the potential growth for our college is beyond the imagination of its founders seventy-five years ago. So as I reminisce about the old campus, I also look ahead to this new chapter and all that it will entail. As the buildings go down on West End, the good times will remain with me forever, but the memories yet to be made on Bison Trail will be both exciting and innumerable. It’s amazing to be a part of what God is doing with our school.
His Good News with others, and to live out Christian virtue in their day-to-day lives. You can see this in the following excerpts from remarks three of our seniors gave at Commencement:
Other than salvation in Christ, coming to Welch College has been the greatest experience of my life. . . . I attended Bible Conference at the college in 2014, and that conference forever changed my life. I knew from the moment I stepped in the door that this was where I needed to be. I understood very clearly that Welch was made up of people who valued We have also expanded the acreage of our campus. Through a partnership with God’s Word, and that made quite an impact on me.

limitations of our old campus—which we loved dearly, but which had increasingly severe limitations—will extend our reach and help us add more students. We have experienced an increase in admitted students for this fall, and I would not be surprised if we reached the 500 mark in enrollment in the 2017-18 academic year. Our new campus and location in Sumner County also offer a wonderful setting to embark on a plan of strategic growth through a number of new programs that will extend our mission. These include, but are not limited to: • Master’s degrees in education, leadership, and other fields to complement our successful new M.A. in Theology and Ministry (from which we graduated our first four students in May) • More graduate ministry education, culminating in an M.Div. degree • A flexible Enriched Adult Studies program that will combine evening, weekend, and online study to allow Christian adults to complete their degrees • More dual enrollment relationships that will allow area high school students to enroll in college-level courses • New undergraduate programs of study such as math education, and more joint degree programs with other colleges in areas such as nursing and engineering desire the ways of God. Every step of the journey was worth it, because I grew into a person I was not confident enough to be when I arrived here. . . . Coming here was never a part of my plans. But I’ve learned within this community that the best stories start like that: when we release our grip on our plans and allow God to do His work. I transferred to Welch during the lowest valley of my Christian walk. And praise be to my Savior that He delivered me from my fears so that I could proclaim now: I made it out of the valley. And I’ll give glory to God because it’s by His grace that I have been transformed. —Brianna McNeese, English major It is rewarding to see our mission to educate leaders to serve Christ, His Church, and His world through biblical thought and life become a reality in the lives of our students and graduates. Watching them begin to realize their role in taking the gospel of the kingdom to the world in the context of their local church—and how that gospel of the kingdom changes their lives, families, and the culture around them—is what makes this Christian community of faith and learning what it is.
We have also engaged in some strategic leadership changes to aid in this growth. Dr. Greg Ketteman, who has had a wonderful tenure as Provost for the past eleven years, has transitioned to a new position, Vice President for Strategic Initiatives. In this new post, he will facilitate the addition of new programs and initiatives that will result in strategic growth for the college. Dr. Matthew McAffee has succeeded Dr. Ketteman as Provost, joined by Dr. Kevin Hester, the new Vice President for Institutional Effectiveness, and Matthew Bracey, the new Vice Provost for Academic Administration. William Slater, headmaster for 21 years of Hendersonville Christian Academy, has been named Dean of Enriched Adult Studies.
Thank You I am thankful to our faithful supporters. Without you, we would not be able to fulfill the mission to which God has called us. Thank you for the gifts you have given to sustain this institution in good times and bad. Your continued financial support, the students you send, and the prayers you pray for us mean more to us than you know.
Vision for the Future
Sincerely,
Having a new campus in a new location provides us with tremendous opportunities for growth. We have had a record number of high school students and parents visit our new campus. We have taken a quantum leap forward in terms of facilities, technology, and the collegiate campus feel at our new location. Shedding the
