PINEVILLE, LA (LC news) – Louisiana Christian University President Rich Brew has announced the addition of David Jeffreys as the new executive vice president and chief operations officer for the school.
Jeffreys has been serving as associate pastor at Highland Baptist Church in New Iberia and head of Highland Baptist Christian School since 2002. He recently completed a six-year term on the LCU Board of Trustees which included serving at chairman of the board in 2020.
“I am personally excited about David and Stephanie joining our team at LCU and know he will be of extreme help to me with resource development, facilities management, denominational relations, strategic planning and special projects,” said Brewer.
Jeffreys and his wife, Stephanie, met while students at LCU. He is a 1992 graduate in business administration, who went on the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary where he earned a master’s degree and a doctoral in Christian Education.
“I never would have imagined 34 years ago as an incoming freshman to Louisiana College that I would one day be called to serve as Louisiana Christian University’s Executive Vice President,” Jeffreys said. “My wife Stephanie and I are excited about this new opportunity to serve at our alma mater. I am looking forward to working with Dr. Brewer and the rest of the LCU faculty and staff as we seek to further God’s Kingdom through Christian higher education.”
Jeffreys said he never planned for this, but that God made this plan.
“Just like the banner in front of Guinn Auditorium states ‘I Am Called,’” he said. “Well, I am a perfect example. I am called to this. I’m not leaving ministry, I’m just in a new position of ministry.”
Jeffreys and his wife have four children, Aaron (wife, Emily), Gary, Kyle (who is a current LCU student), and Ellie.
