MidWinter Lectures
MidWinter Lectures

Established in 1945, MidWinters is an annual lecture series, worship festival, and homecoming celebration. Each year, we gather to engage with luminaries in the fields of theology, the Bible, and other aspects of the Christian experience and to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow learners, old and new.
While our lectures and worship will be live-streamed, the in-person experience—with lectures, Q&As, conversations, worship, and fun and relaxing social times—has been crafted to offer a lively and engaging connection with the lecturers and other participants. Make your plans now to join us in January!
Save the Date: 2027 MidWinter Lectures - January 25 - 27!
