Guiding Moody's Mission

One of our key distinctives here at Moody Bible Institute is strong, godly leadership. From our founder, D. L. Moody, to our current president, Dr. Mark Jobe, each of our ten presidents has pursued our mission to proclaim the gospel through equipping people to be biblically grounded, practically trained, and engaged in the world through gospel-centered living.

Our Senior Academic Leadership, Board of Trustees, and Executive Officers serve Moody and our students with a deep commitment to academic, practical, and spiritual growth. They also push for innovation, constantly working to improve the quality and breadth of a Moody education.

Current President

Dr. Mark Jobe

Dr. Mark Jobe serves as Moody Bible Institute’s tenth president, taking office on January 2, 2019. The son of missionaries, Dr. Jobe grew up in a small village in Spain. He graduated from Moody Bible Institute in 1984, and he also holds a masters degree from Moody Theological Seminary and a doctorate from Bakke Graduate University.

Dr. Jobe and his wife, Dee, have been married for 32 years and have three adult children (Marissa, Josiah, and Grant) and five grandchildren. The Jobes currently reside in Chicagoland, where they are active members of New Life Community Church, a nondenominational, multisite church where Dr. Jobe has also served as founding pastor and senior pastor since 1986.

Corporate Leadership

Our Corporate Leadership teams include our Board of Trustees, Executive Officers, and Vice Presidents. The Board of Trustees is made up of experienced Christian businesspeople and ministry leaders who serve outside the Moody community. They are responsible for Moody’s involvement in our local and global communities, the overall direction of the institution, and the practical fulfillment of our mission.

On the other hand, our Executive Officers and Vice Presidents come from inside the Moody community, guiding our academic, practical, and spiritual learning goals in every program and initiative. They also care for the administrative, financial, and legal requirements of the institution.
