Dr. Jeff Iorg was elected the eighth President and CEO of the SBC Executive Committee on March 21, 2024. His career is exemplified in his accomplishments as president of Gateway Seminary, where, from 2004-24, his visionary leadership transformed the institution and expanded its reach and impact domestically and globally.

Iorg’s ministry began in the local church. First, he served as a children’s minister in Texas before answering the call as pastor of Green Valley Baptist Church in St. Joseph, Missouri. After growing Green Valley’s attendance, initiating a relocation, and ensuring financial stability of the church, Iorg went on to plant Pathway Church in Gresham, Oregon. He led as pastor for several years there, then continued as a lay leader for the next 10 years, while serving as the Executive Director of the Northwest Baptist Convention.

He and his wife, Ann, have three children and five grandchildren.
