Dr. David Jeffreys named acting president of LCU

PINEVILLE, La. (KALB) - Louisiana Christian University (LCU) announced on Wednesday (March 20) that Dr. David Jeffreys has been named the university’s acting president by the Board of Trustees.

This comes after Dr. Rick Brewer announced his retirement as LCU’s ninth president.

“Prior to this assignment, he served in an executive leadership role at the university, gaining substantial knowledge about its operations and objectives,” said Board of Trustees Chair Anthony Bunting. “On behalf of the board, we would like to congratulate Dr. Jeffreys on his appointment and look forward to his leadership in continuing the vision and mission of the university.”

Jeffreys served as the executive vice president and chief operating officer of LCU under Brewer since January 2022. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Arts, both in Christian Education, from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from LCU.

“I am humbled by the board’s appointment to serve in this capacity,” Jeffreys said. “I pray for God’s leadership during this transition as the board seeks the next president of LCU. Our faculty and staff are second to none, and I am honored to serve such a dedicated group of women and men who are committed to our purpose and mission. I also want to thank Dr. Rick Brewer for inviting me to be a part of an institution that I have called home since my freshman year in 1988.”

Jeffreys also served in several positions in the national and state Baptist conventions and has been active on various committees with the Evangeline Baptist Association.

Brewer is transitioning to a new career as Head of School for Masters Academy in Vero Beach, Florida, starting April 15.
