Dr. Wanda Walborn, Director of Spiritual Formation

Wanda Walborn has been employed by Nyack College since 2000, beginning her time at Nyack working as the Resident Director of Satellite Housing and then transitioning in 2003 to become the Director of Spiritual Formation. With the positions Wanda has held, her role at Nyack has ranged from community engagement and leadership development to preaching, pastoral counseling and mentorship. As the Director of Spiritual Formation, Wanda oversees all chapel and worship ministries, small groups, Freedom Prayer, PAVE mentoring program and several seminary interns.

During her time at Nyack, Wanda has been instrumental in changing the spiritual ethos of Nyack by creating the Introduction to Spiritual Formation class curriculum which all new incoming students take their first semester on campus. Coordinating class topics with chapel speaker topics affords students the opportunity to hear and respond to the voice of God in their lives. Wanda is an adjunct professor in the Pastoral Ministries department and team-teaches with her husband at Alliance Theological Seminary. Wanda also coordinated a team of women for the Metropolitan District of the CMA to create the Empower Certificate Program for women. She is a conference and retreat speaker for multiple age groups and has invested in many students’ lives in the last 15 years on campus.

Wanda received her B.S. in Education from Nyack College, a M.A. in Intercultural Studies from Alliance Theological Seminary and has recently completed her Doctorate of Intercultural Studies from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon. Prior to her employment at Nyack College, Wanda was a church planter with her husband, a stay-at-home mother for their four children and a reading curriculum developer for the Connecticut public school system. Training, equipping and releasing strong leaders to advance the kingdom of God is her passion.
