College Governance
The College is an incorporated not-for-profit association governed by a Council. The Council consists primarily of members of the Board of Carey Community Baptist Church. Given the level of expertise required to govern an educational institution, a College Governor’s Council has been appointed to carry out a substantial amount of the governance function. The Governor’s Council’s key responsibilities include:
- Deciding the vision, mission, and values.
- Setting and reviewing the strategic direction.
- Monitoring financial health.
- Setting the overarching policy.
