Welcome to Hood Seminary

The Bishop Alfred & Mamie White Heritage Lecture Series honors a legacy of faith, scholarship, and service that has shaped generations. This series invites scholars, leaders, and community voices to engage critical issues at the intersection of history, theology, and social transformation. Held on February 6-7, 2026, the series offers space to reflect on the past while equipping the present and future for faithful, justice-centered leadership.

Firm Foundation is a virtual gathering designed to strengthen faith, deepen understanding, and ground our community in enduring spiritual truths. Through reflection, teaching, and shared connection, participants are invited to be renewed and encouraged. Join us as we build together on a foundation that sustains us for faithful living and service.

In these pages, you’ll find updates on our programs, partnerships, and people who are making a meaningful impact. Thank you for being part of a community committed to thoughtful ministry, compassionate action, and hope for the future.
