Grace School of Theology Announces Strategic Leadership Transitions to Strengthen Global Mission

(Houston, Texas) — Grace School of Theology is pleased to announce a strategic realignment of its leadership team, approved unanimously by the Board of Trustees and effective December 5, 2025. These transitions are designed to strengthen the school’s long-term ability to train spiritual leaders around the world while remaining firmly anchored in its theological convictions.

Dr. Dave Anderson, founder and longtime President/CEO, will assume the role of Chairman of the Board of Trustees. In this capacity, Dr. Anderson will continue shaping Grace’s strategic direction while devoting more time to teaching, writing, and global ministry initiatives.

Dr. Mark Haywood, a respected theologian, pastor, and educator who has served Grace faithfully for more than 16 years, has been appointed President. His proven academic leadership and pastoral heart position Grace for continued excellence in theological education.

Bob King, whose strategic and operational leadership has significantly strengthened the school’s systems and scalability, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer. In this role, he will oversee the school’s operational and administrative functions, ensuring long-term sustainability and organizational effectiveness.

“These transitions advance best practices in theological education and enable our leaders to serve in the areas of their greatest giftedness,” said the Board of Trustees in a joint statement. “We believe this structure positions Grace for multiplied global impact for decades to come.”

Grace School of Theology remains deeply committed to its mission of developing spiritual leaders in every nation who can teach others about the love of Christ, a love that cannot be earned and cannot be lost.
