We’re honored to announce the upcoming retirement We’re honored to announce the upcoming retirement of two beloved members of our faculty, Frances Taylor Gench and John T. Carroll.

For decades, they have shaped Union Presbyterian Seminary through extraordinary teaching, influential scholarship, and deep commitment to students across our Richmond and Charlotte campuses. Their work has strengthened the church, enriched theological education, and formed generations of leaders.

Last week, we had the joy of celebrating them over lunch on our Richmond campus and it was just the beginning of a season of gratitude for all they have given to this community.

Join us in honoring their remarkable legacy.
