2026 Sprunt Lectures

The Sprunt Lectures are UPSem’s signature annual event—one of the longest-running theological lecture series in the country. Pastors, alumni, scholars, neighbors, and Christian leaders gather in Richmond each year for lectures, worship, storytelling, conversation, and connection.

The 116th Sprunt Lectures (2026) will feature:

• Lecturer: Dr. Gregory Ellison, Candler School of Theology

• Preacher: Rev. Anna George Traynham, Shallowford Presbyterian Church

Sprunt is open to the public and requires registration. This event offers theological depth, meaningful worship, and an opportunity to connect with colleagues in ministry, seminary faculty, and old friends.
