Harris’ key responsibilities at Grace include leading all development, annual giving and stewardship initiatives for Grace College and Seminary. Enthusiastic about the intersection of faith and philanthropy, Harris is in the process of publishing a book entitled “Gospel Generosity.” He looks forward to leading in a position that allows him to speak about this topic daily.
“Philanthropy excites me because the call to Christianity is a call to philanthropy – loving mankind with your time, talent and treasure,” said Harris. “It is a joy to shepherd alumni, donors and friends of the institution into generous giving, and show them that as Christians, giving to aid local churches and ministries like Grace College is something we are called to do.”
