MFT Graduate “Sending Forth” Ceremony

The Sending Forth Ceremony is a celebration of achievements, growth, and new beginnings, and we are excited to come together to commemorate this special occasion.

On Monday, May 5, we will gather in Caldwell Chapel and via livestream at https://lpts.edu/watchlive/ to celebrate and honor our graduates.

This momentous occasion marks not only the culmination of their academic journey but also the beginning of their continued service and leadership beyond this institution. We rejoice in their accomplishments and take pride in who they have become during their time with us at LPTS.

Following the ceremony, a light reception will be held in the Winn Center. To help us plan for the reception, please RSVP by April 28, 2025.

FAITH TALKS: Where the Black Church Speaks Hosted via Zoom | Register here: tinyurl.com/BCSFaithTalks
Zoom link will be provided after registration.
Questions? Email: bcs@lpts.edu

Join us for a virtual summer series that centers the voices, vision, and vitality of the Black Church. Each week, we’ll be in conversation with pastors, scholars, creatives, and community leaders who are doing the work, living the truth, and shaping the future.

This Tuesday, May 6, we will engage in a panel discussion with Dr. Jamesetta Ferguson, Rev. Darien Waite, and Rev. Dianne Lewis-Johnson as they reflect on the Black Church in Louisville, KY.

This is more than a seminar—it’s a gathering of faith, wisdom, and sacred dialogue. Whether you’re clergy, laity, alum, or just hungry for a space that feeds both soul and mind, you belong here.

Pull up to the screen. Tune into the truth. Engage the tradition.
