(ALEXANDRIA, VA) – Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS) is pleased to announce the appointment of Elisabeth “Lisa” Kimball, Ph.D. to the position of vice president for Lifelong Learning, beginning July 1, 2022.
“Dr. Kimball is an extraordinary asset to the Seminary,” said the Very Rev. Ian S. Markham, Ph.D., dean and president of VTS. “She has attracted significant grant income that supports lay people, smaller congregations, and now, potentially, parenting and home formation. She oversees a vital part of the Seminary which engages with the cyber world and weaves together everything from the TryTank to Christian Formation. Literally, thousands of people are impacted by her hard work. We are deeply grateful for her witness and presence at Virginia Theological Seminary.”
