PROGRAM & SPEAKERS RESOURCES:

At the center of the seminary is a faculty recognized for its academic excellence coupled with a deep and personal commitment to the church. In addition to their primary teaching ministry of preparing seminarians to serve as pastors and leaders, the seminary’s faculty also responds to many invitations to serve as speakers and program leaders at congregations, conferences, and synod assemblies.

If you are interested in inviting a member of the seminary’s faculty to speak or to lead a program, you may either contact that faculty member directly or contact the seminary’s advancement office at bgibson@lstc.edu or 773-256-0710.

While the seminary does not have a schedule of fees for speakers or program leaders, it is customary to provide both an appropriate honorarium and expenses. The seminary’s student recruitment or advancement staff may also be available to speak or lead programs. To email them, click on the links below:
