Dr. Kathy Maxwell has served as the Central Seminary Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty since 2023, providing vision and leadership in directing and overseeing the work of all faculty and academic activities that are consistent with Central Seminary’s mission, vision, unique value proposition, and all current and forthcoming strategic and culture plans. Dr. Maxwell earned her Ph.D. in New Testament from Baylor University, Waco, Texas. Her dissertation, Hearing Between the Lines, explores the audience’s active role in receiving and telling the story of Luke-Acts and was published in 2010 by T&T Clark. Her current research focuses on the audience’s formation and participation in hearing the biblical story in ancient times and the modern world. She is particularly interested in biblical storytelling and certified through the Network of Biblical Storytellers. Dr. Maxwell is also a two-time graduate of Hardin-Simmons University, Abilene, Texas, where she earned a Master of Divinity degree from Logsdon School of Theology and a Bachelor of Arts in Church Ministry.
Rev. Dr. Aaron Kilbourn is an MDiv graduate from Sioux Falls Seminary and has a PhD in Theology and Apologetics from Liberty University Rawlings School of Divinity. He has served as pastor of First Baptist Church in Parker, SD for 21 years. In recent years, he has helped develop and teach certificate, undergraduate, and graduate programs at Colorado Christian University’s Lee Strobel Center. He has also served as a faculty mentor for Kairos University in Sioux Falls, SD, and has enjoyed serving on the ABC of the Dakotas Region Policy Board. Rev. Dr. Kilbourn has great joy in seeing men and women come to understand their God-given gifts and become equipped to serve their community and ministry context for the glory of God and the going out of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He loves the Scripture from Jude 3, “Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.”
