Louisiana College, seminary students with Louisiana ties graduate

June 12, 2015

Students from Louisiana College, as well as those from Southern Baptist seminaries recently graduated. Below is a list of the graduates.

LC President Brewer addressed the 148 graduates and hundreds of onlookers May 16 at the college’s 158th commencement ceremony. His message was entitled “And Then Some,” with the goal of challenging the graduates to “do hard work, and then some.”

Meanwhile, Daniel Akin told the spring graduates of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC, that “Our God is a global God. He is always with those who are on mission with him.” The seminary’s 61st graduating class of 274 graduates heard Akin, the president of the seminary, issue a challenge with Jesus’ last words in Matthew 28:18-20. He highlighted God’s sovereign power, plan and promise.

And at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., 297 graduated on May 14, with 107 graduating from the seminary’s Boyce College on May 8. Seminary President Albert Mohler Jr. charged the new Southern graduates to “Take your place in line and fulfill your ministry with eyes wide open, knowing your destiny in Christ. Go into the world of darkness as brave children of the day.”
