Dallas, August 6, 2008/Criswell College--On August 5, 2008, the Trustee Executive Committee of Criswell College received the resignation of its President, Dr. Jerry A. Johnson. The resignation was due to philosophical differences the President had with the Chancellor and Trustee leadership about the future of Criswell College.

Dr. Johnson will continue to serve as President until August 15, 2008, which is the effective date of the resignation. After that date an interim President appointed by the Trustee Executive Committee will begin to serve.

Trustee Chairman Michael Deahl said, “On a personal level and on behalf of the entire Board of Trustees, I want to express gratitude for the leadership Dr. Johnson has provided at Criswell College during the four years of his presidency and for all of the accomplishments that have been achieved at the College and KCBI under Dr. Johnson’s leadership, which are too numerous to mention. I firmly believe that, due in no small part to Dr. Johnson’s contributions, the greatest days at Criswell College are yet to come. I also want to encourage the entire Criswell College family (faculty, staff, students, trustees and supporters) to band together during this transition in leadership to insure that we achieve to the fullest extent possible the vision that God has for Criswell College in the days that lie ahead.”
