Self Preaching Lectures at McAfee School of Theology DESCRIPTION:Save the Date\nWilliam L. Self Preaching Lectures\nMarch 11-12\, 2024\nDr. Teresa Fry Brown will be the Keynote Speaker\nThe William L. Self Lectureship at Mercer University’s McAfee School of Theology was established in order to promote the practice of faithful and effective preaching of the gospel. \nThe lecture series is named in memory of Dr. William L. Self\, Pastor Emeritus of Johns Creek Baptist Church\, Alpharetta\, who was nationally recognized as a gifted preacher\, pastor\, author\, lecturer\, motivational speaker\, and innovator in church growth. Dr. Self achieved considerable acclaim by leading Wieuca Road Baptist Church\, Atlanta\, to a place of prominence in Georgia and the nation. As pastor of Johns Creek\, his leadership and influence brought the church to the vanguard of fast-growing churches. \nThe purpose of the lectureship is to enlighten and inspire those whose calling is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. The lectures seek to instill in students and pastors a passion for better preaching by providing worthy models and by offering seasoned instruction and encouragement. Each year the lecture series features a nationally recognized preacher. \n \nThe Rev. Dr. Teresa L. Fry Brown is the Bandy Professor of Preaching\, a chaired professorship created in 1986 with a gift from B. Jackson Bandy that is considered by many to be the country’s premier chair in homiletics. Fry Brown has taught at Candler since 1994\, and in 2010\, she became the first African American woman to attain the rank of full professor. She also served as the Director of Candler’s Black Church Studies program until 2015. \nClick Here for More Details Closer to the Event\n  URL:https://cbfga.org/event/william-l-self-preaching-lectures-at-mcafee-school-of-theology/ LOCATION:McAfee School of Theology\, 3001 Mercer University Drive\, Atlanta\, GA\, 30341\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured On Homepage,Pastors Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://cbfga.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/McAfee-logo.png GEO:33.8738198;-84.2630939 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=McAfee School of Theology 3001 Mercer University Drive Atlanta GA 30341 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=3001 Mercer University Drive:geo:-84.2630939,33.8738198 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240206 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240210 DTSTAMP:20230801T033320Z CREATED:20230621T204420Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230801T033320Z UID:7032-1707177600-1707523199@cbfga.org SUMMARY:OASIS: A Spiritual Retreat for Ministers to Children\, Youth\, & College Students 2024 DESCRIPTION:  \n \n\nDates: February 6-9\, 2024\nPlace: Montreat Retreat and Conference Center\, Montreat\, NC\nTheme: “Connect”\nSpeakers: Rev.
