The annual Mitchell Lectureship highlights distinguished African American scholars and is the keystone event of the Seminary's celebration of African American Heritage Month.
The event is named in honor of Reverend Dr. Frank B. Mitchell, Jr., pastor of Pinn Memorial Baptist Church for over 40 years. Over the years of his ministry, he was responsible for guiding many new ministers into service.

Each year, the Mitchell Lecturer is invited to address issues relevant to the Church through the perspectives of African American theology and culture.
The guest lecturer will be Rev. Dr. Valerie Bridgeman, Dean & Vice President of Academic Affairs, Methodist Theological School of Ohio (Delaware, OH).
