Join us this spring for an exciting lineup of nationally recognized leaders, scholars, authors, and practitioners who will be coming to campus this semester. They’re experts on timely topics and eager to engage with us in thoughtful dialogue about relevant issues shaping faith, leadership, culture, and society.

These events will include keynote addresses, lectures, Community Worship services, Q&A sessions, book signings, and special events designed to encourage reflection and meaningful conversation. Topics will include immigration, adaptive leadership, women in ministry, sexuality and faith, virtue and character, education, family and marriage, and spiritual formation.
