OVERSIGHT BOARD

A direct descendant of Scottish Presbyterian church planters, John began his ministry labors in 1996 in the same Presbyterian church his forefathers established in 1841.  During his studies at Belhaven College, John was privileged to study under Dr. Wynn Kenyon (considered to be John Gerstner's "left-hand man" as R.C. Sproul was considered his right) where he developed a deep appreciation and passion for apologetics. Graduating from Belhaven, John was honored to teach at Chamberlain-Hunt Military Academy, successor of Oakland College and the last remaining Presbyterian military academy in the United States.  John went on to serve in ministry at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Fort Walton Beach, FL and at Presbyterian Church of the Lakes in Orlando, FL.  John is currently a member of the Presbyterian Church in America.

Before answering the call to serve as President, John was the registrar of the seminary.  John believes that the mission and vision of LCS is one of the most honorable and remarkable educational endeavors attempted by the Reformed Community.

A 21 year veteran and retiree from the United States Air Force, Dr. Tim Goad began his pastoral ministry in 1991 at Sembach Bible Church during a tour at nearby Sembach AB, Germany.  He served in that capacity for three years before relocating to San Antonio, Texas.   Dr. Goad currently serves as Pastor of Grace Baptist Church (Reformed Baptist) where he has ministered since 1996. He also enjoys serving as both Pastor-in-residence and adjunct instructor at Aberdeen Latin School of Cibolo, Texas where he teaches Greek History, Greek I & II, Logic, and Classical Studies. When not otherwise engaged, Dr. Goad is an avid reader, particularly enjoying the study of church history and Reformed theology.
