Hi, I’m Tommy Kiedis.

The woman has long gray hair, is wearing a sleeveless, patterned pink and blue top, and has her arm around the man.

Husband to Shannan. Pops to 6 (and their spouses). Grandpa to 25. I'm a PA College President, steady reader, writer, photographer, and hot rodder. I love to wrench on cars in my spare time, and Shannan and I enjoy back roads and small towns traveling in the Road Tent, our Volkswagen Eurovan.  

What I do.

In short, my mission is helping leaders (at work and home) maximize and multiply their one and only life for God’s glory. This passion grows out of decades spent serving as a pastor in local churches and several years in higher education, both teaching and leading. If you are looking for the educational credentials, I hold a Master's Degree in Religion and Education from Mid-America Seminary, a Doctor of Ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. in Leadership from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. These days I serve as the President of Lancaster Bible College | Capital Seminary & Graduate School. Our home base is Pennsylvania, with locations in Philadelphia, D.C. and partnerships in the US as well as Uganda and Brazil.
