“After a thorough selection process, we are thankful to be able to unanimously present a candidate to the full board,” said J. Robert White, chair of the search committee.
“Adam Groza has demonstrated capable and godly leadership during his service at Gateway these past 14 years,” he noted.
Groza earned his Ph.D. at SWBTS in philosophy of religion in 2009. He is currently a research fellow with the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and a teaching fellow with the Agricola Theological Institute in Finland, and has taught at California Baptist University, Korea Baptist Theological Seminary and Logos College in Kerala, India.
Vote scheduled for April 15–16 meeting
Gateway’s board will vote on Groza’s presidential nomination at its regularly scheduled meeting on April 15–16.
The planned transition of Groza to the presidency will take place on May 13 when the current president of Gateway, Jeff Iorg, enters his new role as president of the executive committee of the Southern Baptist Convention. Iorg’s final day as president of Gateway is May 12, after the last graduation service of the spring semester.
