Leadership
The People Behind the Mission
Impact University operates across two locations, serving students with the same mission of equipping leaders for ministry and service. The University is founded by Pastors JB and Susan Whitfield. Each campus is guided by a dedicated leadership team that oversees academic, spiritual, and community life. Our main location in Clemmons, NC is headed by Pastor Robert Barr, while our second location in Wilmington, NC is led by Pastors Scott and Trish Forrest, ensuring that every student receives personal mentorship and a strong biblical foundation.
