Faculty and Staff
Summer Speaker Series
This summer SPU faculty and staff learned about local Christian Community Development ministries and leaders over dinner. During four Tuesdays within July and August, we heard from Luke Williams with World Relief, Pat Thompson with the YES Foundation, Harvey Drake with Urban Impact, and Hala Mana'o and Danielle Jones with New Horizons.
There is amazing work being done in this city.
