Wesley Theological Seminary (“Wesley DC”) seeks a visionary, entrepreneurial, and transformative leader to serve as its next president. Located in Washington, DC, Wesley DC is a graduate theological institution affiliated with The United Methodist Church and a member of the Washington Theological Consortium. Widely recognized for its mission to prepare individuals for Christian ministry and leadership, Wesley DC fosters theological scholarship that is academically rigorous, socially responsive, and relevant to the dynamic needs of Christian congregations and faith-related institutions. Wesley DC honors its rich Methodist heritage while actively embracing the ecumenical movement and engaging diverse faith traditions. The current search for president comes as The Rev. Dr. David McAllister-Wilson, has announced his decision to retire at the end of the 2025-2026 academic year after 24 years as president of Wesley DC and 40 years of dedicated service to the institution.
The next president of Wesley DC will assume leadership of a seminary that is financially stable with a positive outlook as a result of disciplined stewardship and strategic investments, including recent approval for a new revenue-generating real estate development on the Wesley DC campus. Additionally, Wesley DC’s non-degree programs and theological leadership initiatives present significant opportunities for growth and impact.
Wesley DC has transitioned from its historically residential model to a flexible hybrid approach that supports a dynamic mix of on-campus and virtual learning modalities with students pursuing degrees in-residence in Washington, DC as well as in-context around the world. This shift has significantly expanded Wesley DC’s reach, making theological education more accessible to a broader and more diverse student population. Wesley DC's global presence extends to Africa, the Caribbean, Korea, and beyond, reflecting a commitment to ministry that transcends borders and speaks to the needs of a diverse, interconnected world.
The successful candidate will be a proven, strategic leader with a deep commitment to Wesley DC’s mission as a church-related, inclusive, and forward-looking center for theological education. The next president must be a nimble and compelling theological thinker as well as an adaptive and effective executive; someone who understands the unique opportunities and challenges of a free-standing seminary and can guide Wesley DC into its next chapter with clarity, courage, and compassion. With theological depth and business acumen, this next leader will help Wesley DC strengthen its organizational structure, expand its reach, and deepen its impact locally, nationally, and globally.
Applications received by October 15, 2025, will receive priority consideration. Screening of applications will begin immediately and continue until the completion of the search process. Inquiries, nominations, referrals, and CVs with cover letters should be sent via the Isaacson, Miller website: https://www.imsearch.com/open-searches/wesley-theological-seminary/president.
