John C. Bowling is the former president of Olivet Nazarene University (ONU). John Cubby Bowling was the president of Olivet Nazarene University from 1991 to 2021. His tenure as president ended at the end of the 2020–2021 school year.[1] His 30-year tenure makes him the longest serving president in Olivet's history.[1]
In addition to his work at Olivet, Bowling is active with professional organizations and local community affairs, including membership on the Board of People's Bank in Kankakee.[citation needed]
Dr. Bowling is a former member of the Board of Directors of the Nazarene Publishing House in Kansas City, Missouri, and of the Church of the Nazarene Foundation.[citation needed] He is a member of the USA/Canada Council of Education and the International Board of Education for the Church of the Nazarene.[citation needed]
In addition to over 60 published articles, he has authored four books: A Way With Words, Grace-full Leadership, Packin' Up and Headin' Out: Making the Most of Your College Adventure and, most recently, Making the Climb, which chronicles his ascent to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
General Superintendency of the Nazarene ChurchEdit
In 2005, Bowling was elected as a general superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene but declined the office, saying that his mission at Olivet Nazarene University was not complete.[2] In 2009, Bowling was again elected to serve as a general superintendent. He accepted, but rescinded his acceptance the next day.[3]
