Founded in 1889 as a missionary training institute in Boston, Gordon College has emerged as one of the country’s top Christian liberal arts colleges, and the only nationally ranked Christian college in New England. Gordon is strategically located on the
North Shore of Boston, the global capital of higher education, on a quintessential New England campus of 450 wooded acres just three miles from the Atlantic Ocean. The Gordon student body is comprised of approximately 1600 undergraduate students and 300 graduate
students, drawn from 44 states and more than 50 foreign countries, choosing from among 38 academic majors and 42 concentrations.
Gordon’s Christian identity is broadly evangelicalâ€"more than 40 denominations are represented by students, faculty, and staff. Consistent with its founding vision, Gordon’s identity and reach are worldwide. Gordon believes that a commitment to biblical Christian
faith is no impedim! ent to the pursuit of truth; in fact, a deeply-rooted faith bo! th inspires and orders this pursuit. Gordon students freely examine complex issues and hear diverse opinions within a coherent framework of faith, growing in the moral imagination
and critical thinking skills required for faithful leadership that serves the common good. The combined blessings of location, heritage, scholarship and global vision continue to inspire the Mission of Gordon College: to graduate women and men distinguished
by intellectual maturity and Christian character, committed to lives of service and prepared for leadership worldwide.
Under the direction of the Vice President for Student Life, the Chaplain is responsible for the development and implementation of the chapel program, spiritual formation, community service, and short-term mission trips through the Gordon College Student
Ministries. The Chaplain exercises administrative supervision over the Chapel Office, the Director of Worship and Christian Life, the Director of Student Mi! nistries, the Director of Missions, and the Administrative Assistant for the Chapel Office. The Chaplain,
like all Gordon faculty and staff, is expected to live in a vital relationship with Jesus Christ and to be grounded in Biblical principles. The selected candidate will have a record of active involvement in Christian ministry and local church life and can
enthusiastically support the College’s statement of Faith, Philosophy of Education, and Statement of Life and Conduct.
The Chaplain will provide positive and creative leadership for all activities of the Chapel office, ensuring that there is an on-going program of discipleship, student ministries, missions, and corporate worship to encourage spiritual growth and opportunities
for service. They will select, train, supervise, and evaluate department staff as well as preach in Chapel services at regular intervals, lead public prayer, and otherwise represent the college at appropriate public events. ! They will minister to the sick and
bereaved in the college communit! y as well as lead the community pastorally in times of tragedy or crisis. The Chaplain will advise the Office of Student Life and Dean of Christian Life in matters of college policy and suggest ways to strengthen the spiritual
development of the college community.
Located approximately 30 minutes north of Boston, the town of Wenham, originally settled in 1635, has retained much of its historic character. It is a town of lakes, woodlands, historic estates, and old stonewalls that accompany its winding, tree-lined roads.
The College’s proximity to the beautiful, historic areas of Salem and the North Shore, to the woods and beaches of Cape Ann, and to the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire creates rich opportunities for recreation, and for personal and intellectual growth.
