Trustees of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary voted unanimously Tuesday (April 21) to install Scott Pace as the entity’s seventh president. He will officially succeed Daniel Akin on July 31.
Looking ahead
Pace will continue serving as provost, a role he’s held since June 2023, while adding the new title of president-elect. He will be officially inaugurated at the board of trustees’ fall meeting.
Pace has taught at the seminary since 2018 while serving in numerous leadership roles. That is part of more than 20 years of full-time and interim pastoral ministry experience alongside 17 years of academic and administrative experience.
Pace is a member of Richland Creek Community Church in Wake Forest, North Carolina. He and his wife, Dana, have four children.
