The Board of Trustees of Johnson Bible College is comprised of ten to fifteen members (and the president of the College as an ex-officio member) who are nominated by the Alumni Council of Seventy for three-year terms with approval by the board. Members come from the ranks of the ministry and various other professions representing various supporting constituencies of the College. A majority of the members must be alumni of the College. The major responsibility of the Board of Trustees is to give general direction and oversight to the operation of the College. As the governing body of Johnson Bible College, the trustees establish broad institutional policies, aid in securing financial resources to support the work of the College, select the chief administrative officer, and upon his recommendation, approve the other administrative officers and the faculty of the College.
