Legacy

Welcome from the Dean

Dear Friends,

As we step into this winter season, I extend warm greetings to you. This month’s theme, Legacy, invites us to reflect on those who came before us and the future we are shaping. We celebrate Dr. Debbie Watson’s faith, Eastern’s centennial, and Dr. King’s call to justice. Each story honors the foundations laid for us and the responsibility we carry forward. May these reflections inspire gratitude as we look ahead to the Centennial Service in March.

Grace and Peace,
Rev. Dr. Kimberlee A. Johnson
Dean, Palmer Theological Seminary
and College
