Midwestern Seminary and Spurgeon College will soon begin chapel services for the Fall 2022 semester, starting with a Convocation service on Tuesday, August 30.
The lineup of scheduled speakers includes church leaders, scholars, and pastors from around the country, in addition to members of the seminary and college faculty and staff.
“One of the reasons I get excited about the start of each academic semester is the resumption of chapel services,” said Midwestern Seminary and Spurgeon College President Jason Allen. “It brings me particular joy to get to worship and hear the preaching of God’s Word with our faculty, staff, and students each week.”
“As students seem to be busier than ever, it is invaluable for them to gather a couple extra times a week to sit under the preaching of God’s Word, to worship the Lord in song, and to fellowship with other students who are walking through similar seasons of life.”
In addition to the benefit chapel services provide for students, Allen also commented on his thankfulness for the men who will be speaking in chapel this Fall.
“We truly have a great list of preachers coming, and I am excited about having these men on campus. I am eager for our students to learn from them and to sit underneath their ministry.”

- Willie McLaurin (interim president and CEO, SBC Executive Committee)
