In addition to his service at EU, his career in AG higher education includes service as a faculty member at Southeastern University and director of what is now known as the AG Alliance for Higher Education.

Dr. Bundrick will also serve as dean of the School of Theology and Church Ministries (STCM) of EU, which will include all undergraduate offerings in Bible/theology, church ministries, and intercultural studies/global missions, while AGTS will provide all graduate offerings in those areas of study.

"We are grateful for Dr. Lim's guidance during these last 6 years," said President Klaus. "During his tenure, we added three doctoral programs and reaffirmed our accreditation with both the Higher Learning Commission and the Association of Theological Schools until 2021."
