Lee University students, faculty and staff will soon come together for a time of spiritual reflection during this semester’s Convocation. Services begin Sunday with a message from Lee President Dr. Paul Conn and will conclude Thursday, Feb. 4.
“We look forward to having a great week of worship and Word to spur us on in our relationship with God,” said Dr. Jimmy Harper, campus pastor at Lee.
Dr. Mark Walker will bring the message on Monday night. Dr. Walker began his full-time ministry in 1984 and has served as the senior pastor at Mount Paran North in Marietta since 1992. He earned his doctorate in organizational leadership from Regent University School for Leadership Studies and his master’s and bachelor’s degrees in counseling from Georgia State University. He is also a member of Lee University’s Board of Directors.
Brian Hunter, a pastor and church planter from Cumming, Ga., will speak Tuesday night. Mr. Hunter earned his Master of Divinity (MDiv) from the Pentecostal Theological Seminary and his bachelor’s degree in pastoral ministry from Lee University. He planted and then pastored Genesis Church in Tallahassee, Fla., for 10 years before serving as executive pastor at Mountain Lake Church in Atlanta and executive director of ChurchPlanters.com. After launching two start-up initiatives, Mr. Hunter went back into local church ministry at Journey Church in West Palm Beach where he currently serves as executive pastor.
Lee’s own Dr. Terry Cross will conclude the nightly services on Wednesday. Dr. Cross, dean of the Lee University School of Religion, graduated from Lee in 1978, later earning his master’s degree in church history and an MDiv in Theology from Ashland Theological Seminary. He also holds a master’s in Doctrinal Theology and completed his doctoral work in systematic theology at Princeton Theological Seminary.
Weeknight convocation services begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Conn Center with overflow in the Dixon Center. In addition to live worship led by Lee’s Chapel Praise Band, a special guest will conclude the week’s worship services.
“We’re excited to have All Sons & Daughters lead worship Thursday morning to round out the week,” said Dr. Harper.
Morning services begin at 10:40 a.m. on Tuesday and Thursday and will also be held in the Conn Center with overflow in the Dixon Center.
