Do you have a heart for Christian education and a desire to serve your community?
Are you looking to contribute your skills and experience in a meaningful way? Faith Lutheran College is seeking expressions of interest from members of our school community and supporting congregations for a position on the College Board. We are particularly seeking practising, communing members of the Lutheran Church.
The Board provides strategic direction and strong, faithful governance. It focuses on financial oversight, compliance, infrastructure, policy, and supporting the Principal in achieving the mission and vision of the College. Operational matters remain the responsibility of the Principal and staff. This is a wonderful opportunity to contribute to the future of our College and support its mission: “In faith, we grow together so that everyone can find their personal extraordinary and enrich our world.”
