Theological Education Sunday
On Sunday, September 17, 2023, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) celebrates Theological Education Sunday. You may celebrate theological education that Sunday or any time that is appropriate for you and your congregation, Presbyterian or not. We offer a liturgy, written by ordained members of the Austin Seminary staff, for congregations to incorporate into worship services and Bible studies. Please edit as needed to fit the needs of your congregation (but please give proper credit to Austin Seminary).
For further information about Theological Education Sunday, contact Jeannie Corbitt-Cardona (MDiv’20) in the Office of Church Relations here.
