Heritage College & Seminary Leadership Announcement

Heritage College & Seminary is pleased to share an important update in our leadership team as we continue to strengthen our mission to serve the church across Canada and beyond.

Effective January 8, 2026, Dr. Jonathan Griffiths has assumed the role of President of Heritage College & Seminary. Since joining Heritage as Chancellor in October 2024, Jonathan has provided visionary leadership that has guided our institution into an exciting new chapter. His deep theological insight and commitment to the local church have already shaped strategic initiatives that will position Heritage as a leading evangelical college and seminary dedicated to serving the nation and equipping leaders for gospel ministry.

“The Lord has positioned Heritage to play a pivotal role in equipping and preparing the next generation of leaders for the Canadian church. I count it an immense privilege to serve here in this season of exciting opportunity, now in an expanded leadership role. It is a particular joy and privilege to serve alongside Bob Kallonen, who has provided such exemplary leadership as President. I am thankful to him for his continued leadership and partnership in the work at Heritage.” – Jonathan Griffiths

Jonathan’s leadership will be instrumental as we advance significant projects supported by recent grants and continue to expand our impact for Christ and His church.

We also want to express our heartfelt gratitude to Bob Kallonen, who has served tirelessly as President during a season of transition. Bob’s steady leadership and organizational expertise have brought immense value to Heritage, and we are thrilled that he will continue to provide leadership as Vice President of Operations. Bob’s ongoing involvement in our senior leadership will ensure continuity and operational strength as we move forward.

Please join us in praying for Jonathan and Bob as they lead Heritage into this new season of growth and ministry.
