Effective April 1, Steve Wallace joined the RTS Institutional Staff as our new Chief Operating Officer who will eventually replace Bob Bailey. Bob will stay with us for at least the next year to serve as assistant to Chancellor Ric Cannada and to aid in Steve’s transition.Steve is a 1978 graduate of RTS, and you check out his picture in the Dean Center “Hall of Graduates.” He met his wife of 30 years during his studies at RTS although he didn’t meet her at RTS, but rather he met her as he served as an intern at a nearby Presbyterian church where her father was the pastor. Steve’s wife Debbie is also sister to Adrianne Penny who is the wife of our very own Bobby Penny (VP for Development- Jackson). Steve and Debbie have two children, a daughter who is a nurse in Chicago, and a son who will graduate from high school in May.
Steve served as Executive Pastor under Mike Milton, newly appointed President to our Charlotte Campus. He has also pastored churches in Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee. Welcome, Steve.
