Dr. Steve Hobson serves as Chairman of the Leadership Discipline. He brings to the school almost 10 years in various church leadership roles (staff member, church planter, senior pastor, district board member). He and his wife Jan had the privilege of being part of the school from its last struggling year in Baguio City, through its remarkable recovery all the way to today. Over their 35 years with IGSL, Steve has served in various positions including the Executive Leadership Team and the Board of Trustees. In past years, he has taught many courses in the practical theology department, but in recent years has focused on leadership courses. He helped design and over the years guide two IGSL doctoral programs (DMin in Transformational Leadership and DMin/PhD in Peace Studies). He co-led the 2006 curriculum revision for the school’s master’s programs.
Steve & Jan have two grown boys and four grandchildren all living in America. Their favorite vacation, however, is snorkeling in the West Philippine Sea. Steve’s favorite music besides contemporary worship is smooth jazz. Steve says “My heart beats to serve Christ as a faithful servant-steward leader, giving Him a good return on his investment in me. My focus is on developing leaders and workers for the world-wide kingdom harvest.”
Dr. Hobson wrote the first chapter entitled “Creative Leadership Development: Breaking Out of the Traditional Seminary Mold” in Educating for Tomorrow: Theological Education for the Asian Context. Kohl, Manfred and A.N. Senanayake editors. 2002.
