UM announces chapel speakers for Fall 2024

 The University of Mobile announces its schedule of chapel speakers for the Fall 2024 semester.

Speakers include the university’s newly elected president, Dr. Charles Smith; Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions Executive Director Dr. Rick Lance; North American Mission Board National Next Gen Director Shane Pruitt; and Lifeway Christian Resources President & CEO Dr. Ben Mandrell; among other distinguished faith leaders.

“Our students are in for a real treat this fall,” said President Smith. “Each of our chapel guests are godly and gifted communicators who are passionate about investing in the next generation. I can’t wait to see how God uses them for His glory and the good of our students.”

Weekly chapel services are a central part of the University of Mobile’s culture of discipleship and leadership development.

“Once a week, the university’s residential student body gathers to pray, worship and engage the Word of God. Though this usually takes the form of a sermon, chapel services occasionally feature lectures and panel discussions on pressing issues. In every case, we seek to expose our students to God’s Word and equip them to be Kingdom leaders,” Smith said.

Fall 2024 chapel schedule

Chapel is held Wednesdays at 2 p.m. in Ram Hall. Chapel speakers for Fall Semester 2024 are:

Aug. 21: Dr. Charles W. Smith Jr., president, University of Mobile

Sept. 4:  Jared Baria, campus pastor, University of Mobile

Sept. 11: Dr. Rick Lance, executive director, Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions
