BACKGROUND

By Summer 2023, Dallas Christian College (DCC) plans to launch a new Sports Science Department offering several degrees in that field. The first faculty chair for that department will have a unique opportunity to build—from the ground up—strong, faith-based Sports Science programs that will shape students and impact those they serve for many years to come.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Sports Science Department Chair holds a full-time faculty position that includes responsibilities in both teach-ing and departmental management. S/he serves in accordance with policies found in the DCC Employee Hand-book, including the Faculty Supplement in Sections 7-9 of that document. The Chair reports to the Vice President of Academics (VPA) and serves on the DCC Academic Council. S/he provides direction, guidance, and oversight for the Sports Science Department, which will initially offer five academic programs delivered primarily in the traditional, on-ground format:

• Associate of Science (A.S.) in Sports Science
• Bachelor of Sports Science (B.S.S.) in Athletic Coaching and Bible
• S.S. in Sports Management and Bible
• S.S. in Sports & Recreation Ministry and Bible
• Christian Athletic Coaching Certificate

DCC expects all members of the faculty to be committed to Jesus Christ as Lord and actively involved in a local Christian church (see below under “Statements of Faith”). In partnership with the faculty, administration, and student development staff, the Sports Science Department Chair promotes and advances DCC’s mission to “educate and mentor students to be people of influence, engaging in their calling to the work of Christ in the Church and in the world.” S/he leads the department in creating transformative learning experiences that empower and equip students across learning modalities (traditional, residential, commuter, online, and non-traditional students) to lead enriched and productive lives that honor God and reflect integration of a biblical worldview.

 

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

As stated in the DCC Employee Handbook, a normal full-time faculty workload “will not exceed the guidelines established by the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) or fifteen (15) semester hours per semester, whichever is less.” Full-time faculty members may be asked to teach in the summer or other special sessions (e.g. Wintermester) and will receive additional compensation for doing so. During the summer months of June through mid-August, a faculty member may accept as many teaching assignments as time permits.

Since the Sports Science Department Chair carries both teaching and managerial responsibilities (outlined below), s/he will teach less than a full-time load and receive load credit for managerial functions. The teaching/managerial load will be determined each year on an individual basis by the Vice President of Academics in conversation with the Chair. The ratio of teaching hours versus managerial hours may vary from year to year, depending on the activities of a given year. To illustrate: If a department is conducting formal program reviews, seeking profes-sional accreditation, or developing multiple new programs, the chair may be assigned fewer teaching hours and more managerial hours for that year. If the managerial load is lighter for a given year, the chair may be assigned more teaching hours and fewer managerial hours.With permission from the VPA, chairs may teach up to 6 credit hours of overload per year with additional remuneration.

STATEMENTS OF FAITH

All trustees, employees, and any other persons acting as recognized representatives of Dallas Christian College shall be willing to affirm and support the following:

Statement of Faith

The Bible, or Holy Scriptures, alone is the divinely inspired Word of God, and therein is contained the revelation of the deity of Jesus Christ, the plan of salvation for mankind, and the faith and work of the Church; furthermore, that the testimony of such Scriptures testifies to prophecy concerning His advent, virgin birth, miraculous life, blood atonement, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, and final return, and is expressly and historically true in the commonly accepted meaning of the terms; in addition, that the Church of the New Testament ought everywhere to be restored with its divine plan of admission: faith, repentance, and baptism, with consequent godly life; and finally, that the Scriptures are wholly sufficient to build the kingdom of God.

Statement on Sexuality

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God (Gen. 1:26-27). Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.

Statement on Marriage

We believe the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Gen. 2:18-25). We believe that marriage between one man and one woman, for life, uniquely reflects Christ’s relationship with His rescue mission (Eph. 5:21-33). We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (1 Cor. 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb. 13:4). We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.

We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, cohabitation, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, or use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God (Matt. 15:18-20; 1 Cor. 6:9-10).

Statement on the Sanctity of Human Life

We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life. (Ps. 139)
