Fall Convocation

Perkins Fall Convocation is an annual gathering that brings together scholars, church leaders, students and community partners to engage important questions in theology, ministry and faith-informed leadership. Through lectures and conversations, the convocation creates space for thoughtful dialogue about the role of faith in today’s changing world. 

The event highlights scholarship and ministry across a range of disciplines, including preaching, Hispanic theology, sociology and wisdom traditions, religious education for social change and United Methodist studies. These conversations reflect Perkins School of Theology’s commitment to rigorous theological engagement and the formation of leaders for the church and society. 

Perkins Fall Convocation fosters a vibrant learning community where participants connect with peers, learn from leading scholars and practitioners, and gain insights that support faithful leadership and meaningful ministry in both church and community contexts. Details about the 2026 Perkins Fall Convocation will be announced soon.
