Last year, we named the program the Robert F. Boyd Institute after a co-founding member of our Board of Trustees. It is a fitting and proper way to recognize the commitment of Trustee Emeritus Bob Boyd to Virginia Wesleyan College and our affiliated denomination.
As reflected in our recent "stellar" review by the University Senate of the UMC, the College is proud of its affiliation with the United Methodist Church. Our College is a community of faith, learning and service. VWC is both historically a United Methodist college and in vivo a United Methodist college. The Boyd Institute complements a variety of programs offered by our Center for Sacred Music, the Center for the Study of Religious Freedom, and Marlin Ministries; we strive to integrate participants of the Boyd Institute into these and other programs of the College.
This year's Boyd Institute will take place April 3-4 and will feature Dr. Ben Witherington III, Amos Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary. He will discuss "A Singular Jesus in a Pluralistic Culture." Read more about this year's program and register to attend at: https://www.vwc.edu/about-us/
We look forward to hosting this year’s Boyd Institute and welcoming Virginia Conference pastors and church leaders to our campus.
