Abstract
SUMMARY New faculty in church-related institutions can struggle with many stresses (e.g., meeting expectations, lack of collegiality, time restraints, balance of work and their contributions to their discipline, and balance of work and non-work activities). In addition, these faculty members are being asked to develop students holistically within a campus community and also to share their talents by being engaged in multiple external communities, as well. Since there is very little or no graduate preparation for these new faculty, it is important for them to understand the mission and identity of the institution and become engaged in its community by taking part in faculty development activities to receive clear expectations about their contributions, thereby reducing stress. Also colleges need to design an assessment program that simultaneously fosters the development of faculty and fulfills the mission of the institution, by looking at worth, as well as merit.
