The president of the seminary is the current [[primate]] of the OCA, Metr. [[Herman (Swaiko) of Washington and New York]], and the current rector is Bp. [[Tikhon (Mollard) of Philadelphia]], both of whom serve on the faculty. Additionally, there are two deans, Archpriest [[Michael Dahulich]] and Archpriest [[Alexander Golubov]], who serve as dean of the seminary and academic dean, respectively.
Most of the faculty are ordained clergy, the bulk majority of whom serve as adjunct instructors, being parish priests, as well. In former times, members of the monastic community also served as faculty and staff, but with the advanced age of much of the brotherhood, such activity has been more limited in recent years.
There are also several lay professors, as well, notably including Dr. [[Harry Boosalis]], Drs. [[David Ford]] and [[Mary Ford]], and Dr. [[Christopher Veniamin]], all of whom are published contributors of Orthodox materials in English, including history, theology, patristics and translation work. Drs. Mary Ford and Christopher Veniamin were also associated personally with Elder [[Sophrony of Essex|Sophrony (Sakharov)]], the spiritual son and biographer of St. [[Silouan the Athonite]]. Multiple works regarding St. Silouan and Elder Sophrony have been published by members of the faculty, and ties with Elder Sophrony's [[monastery]] in Essex, England, remain strong.
