Spring Pastor’s Roundtable

Home E News E Spring Pastor’s Roundtable

University, California

March 14

Life Pacific University hosted its second Pastor’s Roundtable and Luncheon where LPU partners with local church pastors to dialogue about relevant topics in the ministry space.

Dean of Ministry and Theology, Dr. Jeff Tolle, and ministry professor, Dr. Tim Lee, hosted this spring’s Pastor’s Roundtable and Luncheon to discuss “How to Church” and engage in conversation surrounding leader health, the importance of theological education, and both teaching and learning ministry practicals. LPU desires to bridge the gap between traditional University-level education and local church leadership and experience. Pastors have been given a say in what needs LPU can effectively meet to empower men and women for ministry.

These Pastor’s Roundtables happen twice a year, in the spring and the fall. All are welcome to join.
