This week, we interviewed Dr. Andrew C. Denton, President of Crown College. Andrew is the 17th president of Crown College. His vision, directed by the Lord, is for Crown to be the boldly Christian college of the Midwest. He provides a high level of vision, strategy, and execution to Crown while remaining deeply committed to leading Crown to be a boldly Christian, academically excellent college that fosters a lifelong, authentic community.
Since beginning his presidency, Dr. Denton has led Crown through nearly $ 20 million in capital investments across campus, including the construction of SPBI Hall, the first new building in nearly two decades. Crown's commitment to the Lord's vision and investment in campus initiatives resulted in over 20 percent enrollment growth since Fall 2021.
Dr. Denton holds a Ph.D. in Higher Education Leadership from St. Louis University and an M.B.A. from Missouri State University. He and his wife, Linda, have been married for 26 years and are the proud parents of three children: Lexie, Ashlyn, and Drew.
