Born in Alameda, CA, March 17, 1942 from 1945 to 1949 lived in South India with missionary br-educator parents Brought up from 5th grade through high school in Oakland, CA

EDUCATION

University of California at Berkeley B.A., Bethany College, Scotts Valley, CA. M.A. Wheaton College Graduate School, Wheaton, IL Graduate Studies, University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. Doctor of Ministry from Gordon-Conwell Seminary, South Hamilton, MA

FAMILY
Dick married Ruth Blakeley of Modesto, CA in 1963. They have four adult children, three daughters and a son—Van and Erica Clements, and their children, Alyson, Claire, Samuel and Hope (Eugene, OR); Brett and Jenny Moody and their son, Drew (San Jose, CA); Scott and Susanna Aughtmon and their sons, Jack, Will and Addison (Redwood City, CA); and Christopher and Traci Foth and their sons, Cameron and Noah, and daughter, Chloe (Windsor, CO).

CAREER
Most of Foth’s early career was spent working with and around young people. He pastored a congregation adjacent to the University of Illinois in Urbana (1966-1978), and then served as President of Bethany College in California (1978-1992). While on sabbatical in the spring of 1993, Dick served as Minister-in-Residence at Gordon-Conwell Seminary, South Hamilton, MA.
The Foths moved to Washington DC in August of 1993 to work with men and women in leadership positions and the Prayer Breakfast Movement, nationally and internationally.

College presidency had thrust him into the arena of government and business, so when the call came in 1993 to come to Washington DC to work under the auspices of the House and Senate breakfast groups and to help with the National Prayer Breakfast, it seemed a natural extension of his work. Dick spends his time encouraging individuals privately in and toward Jesus and across the lines---personal, social, religious, and political--- that separate people from each other.

Through the years, the themes of relationship building and reconciliation have become central to Dick’s speaking and writing. Invitations to speak on those topics have taken Dick and Ruth across many denominations, cultures, and nations.

In the summer of 2008, Dick and Ruth moved to Fort Collins, CO. Though continuing to work with in Washington DC and with political and business leaders, Dick now is part of the pastoral teaching team at Timberline Church in Fort Collins. In that role, he helps to mentor the pastoral staff and works throughout the city with the larger leadership community.

He is also on the Teaching Teams of National Community Church in Washington, DC…and Willamette Christian Center in Eugene, OR. In that function, he speaks to both congregations 4 to 6 times a year.

As of spring 2010, Dick became Chairman of the Board of Project Rescue Foundation, an effort dedicated to the eradication of human trafficking globally and the restoration of the lives caught in that destructive web.

WRITING
Dick and Ruth co-authored a book on relational leadership in 1995 (Victor Books) entitled, “When The Giant Lies Down.” His doctoral thesis, “A Covenant Journey: Observations on Personal Faith and Public Power,” speaks to a similar theme.
